Quote: "The operation was made possible with the support of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and the United24 platform.

The enemy vessel was on the roadstead of Lake Donuzlav in temporarily occupied Crimea.

As a result of a number of direct strikes to the hull, the Russian vessel sustained critical damage causing immobilisation – it heaved aft and sank."

    Looked like three hits broadside, that second hit may have shown twice. Appears that the ship’s magazine blew up, if I know anything about naval explosions, which I do not.

      You’re not far off. The second drone seems to have triggered a secondary explosion. It could have been the main magazine, or it could have been one of the missiles in the tubes on the side. Either way, Russian ordinance cooked off onboard.
