Another Russian Warship Meets A Timely End

Russia's blockade of Ukrainian grain in the Black Sea is going about as well as the rest of their war. Source: CNN Kyiv, Ukraine CNN — Ukraine said it had carried out a brazen sea drone attack on a major naval base in Russia, as dramatic footage showed a damaged Russian warship listing heavily in the Black Sea on Friday. Social media images showed the vessel, an amphibious Russian landing ship, tilting badly and sitting very low in the water as it was being towed near the base at Novorossiysk, Russia’s largest port. The attack comes against the backdrop of rising tensions in the Black Sea and stepped up Ukrainian strikes against targets across Russia after President Volodymr Zelensky pledged to “return” the war to Russian territory. A Ukrainian source told CNN that a sea drone carrying nearly 1,000 pounds of TNT had hit the ship, and claimed there were about 100 Russian servicemen aboard. “A big navy ship, [the] Olenogorsky Gornyak, was hit,” the source told CNN.
