Military operations in Crimea: the Navy of Ukraine reported the attack on the Komuna ship

The Ukrainian Naval Forces (Navy) confirmed the fact of the attack on the Komuna ship in Sevastopol, which is located in the occupied territory of Crimea. This is an important step on the part of Ukraine in controlling the situation in the region, as well as a signal to Russia about the unacceptability of its occupation policy.

The Ukrainian Naval Forces hit the Komuna ship, as a result of which the ship will no longer be able to perform combat missions. This was stated by the spokesman of the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Dmytro Pletenchuk.

"Today, the Ukrainian Navy captured another ship from the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, Kommun, in Crimea. The nature of the damage is being verified. But clearly the ship is not capable of performing the task now," wrote Pletenchuk.

He emphasized that such attacks will be repeated until the Russians run out of ships or withdraw from Crimea.

What is known about the attack on the Commune

On the morning of April 21, an explosion rang out in temporarily occupied Sevastopol. Local telegram channels reported that fire engines were "rushing" on the northern side of the city.

The representative of the occupying authorities of Sevastopol, Mykhailo Razvozhaev, stated that an anti-ship missile attack on one of the ships on the Northern side was repelled, and fragments of the missile caused a small fire, which was quickly extinguished.

However, the "Krymskiy Veter" Telegram channel, with reference to a local resident, reported that the rescue ship "Communa" could have been hit in Sukharnaya Bay - this ship is the oldest ship in the Russian Federation. It was put into operation back in 1915, and until then it was in service with the Russian Federation and performed combat missions.

It will be recalled that in the afternoon of April 21, the Russian occupiers fired ballistic missiles at Odesa region, as a result of which at least four people were injured. The blast wave and debris from ballistic missiles damaged private houses. Among the injured are three men and one woman.
