Russia declares destruction of final Ukrainian warship in Odesa port

Russia announced on Wednesday that it had successfully destroyed the final Ukrainian warship in the port of Odesa.
According to a statement by the Russian Defense Ministry, the strike was carried out by the country's Aerospace Forces using a high-precision weapon, resulting in the destruction of the Ukrainian naval vessel named Yuri Olefirenko.
As of now, Ukrainian authorities have not provided a response to these claims.
In April 2022 the ship was claimed by Russian media to have again been captured by Russia at the port of Berdyansk and that she may have been moved to Novorossiysk.
However, on 3 June 2022 Yuri Olefirenko was spotted in Ukrainian control near Ochakiv, Ukraine under fire by Russian artillery.
The ship is believed to have survived the strikes and that it had not been captured at Berdyansk as previously claimed by Russian media. (ILKHA)
