“According to our source, in the bay near the village of Chornomorske in Crimea, a Ukrainian drone hit a Russian ship,” the post says.
The attack took place on Monday, December 23, at around 17:00.
“The UAV hit the side of the Fedor Uryupin vessel above the waterline. The ship did not sink, but damage was inflicted,” the channel reports.
The Fedor Uryupin vessel (IMO: 9443499) was built in 2010. Russia seized the vessel from Ukraine in 2014 during the annexation of Crimea but she has not been used recently.
As per Marinetraffic, the tugboat flies a Russian flag, but the official owner is the Ukrainian state-run company Chornomornaftogaz.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, in Crimea, the Russians are covering warships with support vessels against drone attacks.
