For unknown reasons, a patrol ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet was blown up in the outer roadstead of Sevastopol, they claimed on social networks.
The Russian patrol ship “Pavel Derzhavin” was damaged near the temporarily occupied Sevastopol. This was said by the spokesman of the Ukrainian Navy, Dmitry Pletenchuk, Radio Liberty reported on Thursday, October 12.
He said that he couldn’t tell all the details, but he could officially confirm that this enemy ship was indeed destroyed: “You are the first to whom I officially confirm today that it has been destroyed. I cannot give you any information about the circumstances of this incident, let’s call it, but it is a fact.”
Pletenchuk added that the Pavel Derzhavin is a ship of the Russian fleet, although the Ukrainian fleet previously had a ship with the same name.
“They have the same name. As I remember, there was an interesting moment even before the war. I just noticed that it was not a Ukrainian ship,” he said.
Earlier, the media and local Telegram channels reported that the Russian Black Sea Fleet patrol ship Pavel Derzhavin was blown up in the outer roadstead of Sevastopol for unknown reasons. The Armed Forces of Ukraine clarified this information.
We remind you that after the attack on the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, there was a lull in the activity of the Russian navy. The conquerors were maneuvering and looking for more or less safe places for themselves both for basing and for staying in the Black Sea.
