Ukraine's military said it destroyed the Rostov-on-Don attack submarine in a missiles attack on Friday.

Ukraine’s military says it attacked and destroyed a Russian submarine while it was anchored at a port in the occupied Crimean peninsula.

The Rostov-on-Don, a kilo-class attack submarine launched in 2014, sank after it was struck in a missile attack on the port city of Sevastopol on Friday, Ukraine’s general staff said in a statement.

It was reportedly one of four submarines operated by Russia’s Black Sea fleet capable of launching Kalibr cruise missiles. The Russian defence ministry has not commented.

Officials in Kyiv said the attack also destroyed four S-400 air defence systems protecting the peninsula, which Russia illegally annexed in 2014.

    Once they confirm which boat it was, I’ll mark it off

      You already have. It’s the one that was previously hit by storm shadow in dry dock. They did some repairs, refloated it, and then the Ukrainians hit it again.
