The Ukrainian military said it launched a successful strike against a Russian submarine on Friday and damaged an S-400 air defense system in occupied Crimea.
“In the port of Sevastopol, the submarine of the Russian Black Sea fleet ‘Rostov-on-Don’ was successfully attacked,” the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine wrote on Saturday in a Facebook post. “As a result of the impact, the boat sank on the spot.”
The Russian vessel, a Kilo-class attack submarine in the Russian Navy, had previously been hit by a Ukrainian missile in September 2023 and “seriously damaged,” according to the post.
