"They cannot be restored". Yusov claims destruction of Russian ships and submarines in Sevastopol
The large landing ship "Minsk" and the submarine "Rostov-on-Don" were significantly damaged
The official representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Andriy Yusov, said that a Russian landing ship and a submarine carrying Kalibr missiles were heavily damaged in the strike on Sevastopol.
"These are significant damages, and we can now say that it is very likely that [the ships] are not subject to recovery," Yusov said on Ukrainian television.
According to monitoring accounts, including the OSINT project Oryx, the large landing ship Minsk and the submarine Rostov-on-Don were heavily damaged in the morning missile strike on Sevastopol.
Oryx notes that the Minsk was damaged so badly that it is impossible to restore it economically.
On Wednesday morning, the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed that "two navy ships that were undergoing scheduled repairs at the S. Ordzhonikidze shipyard in Sevastopol and damaged as a result of a missile attack by the Kyiv regime on September 13 will be fully restored and will continue to serve in their fleets."
Background. Earlier, intelligence reported that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had hit two Russian vessels at a shipyard in Sevastopol.
