Navy spokesman confirms defeat of Kommuna ship in occupied Sevastopol - media

On 21 April, explosions were heard in the port of the temporarily occupied Sevastopol and the Russian rescue ship Kommuna caught fire. 

Spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy Dmytro Pletenchuk confirmed in a comment to LIGA.net that the fire on the ship was "successful work of the Navy".

"We confirm. The Navy launched a strike," he said.

In the morning, explosions were heard in the port of occupied Sevastopol. Gauleiter Mikhail Razvozhayev then claimed to have repelled an air attack.

OSINT researchers geolocated the site of the strike, noting that the fire was located in the area where the fire occurred, a rare rescue ship Kommuna.

Kommuna (until 1922 - Volkhov) is a vessel of the Russian Navy, a submarine rescuer, a catamaran by design. The Russian Navy's oldest ship, and the world's oldest ship actually in service and performing combat missions.
