Russian warship ’Yamal’ is ’critically damaged’ in Storm Shadow strike on Crimea

Ukraine has ‘critically damaged’ one Russian warship in a Storm Shadow missile strike on Crimea, with video showing the moment of impact. The Yamal, a Rouchpa-class landing ship used to transport tanks, was hit overnight March 23, Ukraine’s security service has said - leaving a large hole in the ship’s upper deck and blowing apart a piece of the hull. The GUR said the ship had taken on water and rolled on to its starboard side, and was having to be continually pumped out to keep it afloat. There were rumours another landing ship, the Azov, and a patrol boat, the Ivan Khurs, were also damaged in the attack - but Kyiv said it was still clarifying information about further damage. Ukraine is keeping up the pressure on Crimea with boat, missile and drone strikes because they believe the peninsula is Putin’s weak spot and that fear of losing it may convince the despot to negotiate on their terms.#russia #ukraine #war Daily Mail Homepage: Daily Mail Facebook: https://
