The Caesar Kunikov large landing ship was attacked by naval drones on Wednesday, Kyiv says, as videos emerged showing a column of smoke rising over the water.
Ukraine’s Military Intelligence, known by its Ukrainian acronym GUR, said its special operations unit “Group 13” sank the Kunikov.
The Russian military did not immediately comment on the claim, saying only that it downed six Ukrainian drones over the Black Sea overnight.
