Ukraine has managed to sink the $300 million Rostov-on-Don submarine after a missile attack on the port city of Sevastopol.
She was reportedly one of four submarines operated by the Russian Black Sea Fleet capable of launching Kalibr cruise missiles. BBC writes that so far the Russian Ministry of Defense has not commented.
"The destruction of Rostov-on-Don proves once again that there is no safe place for the Russian fleet in the Ukrainian territorial waters of the Black Sea" , said the general staff in Kiev.
Officials in Kiev said the strike also destroyed four S-400 air defense systems defending the peninsula, which Russia illegally annexed in 2014.
UK intelligence officials noted last September that the ship Rostov-on-Don suffered catastrophic damage in a missile attack while undergoing maintenance at a Sevastopol shipyard.
Ukraine's military said Russia subsequently repaired the $300 million ship and that it had recently been testing its capabilities near Sevastopol.
