Russia has acknowledged the ship has sunk but will not say it was hit by a Ukrainian missile
Russia has acknowledged that the Moskva, its flagship Black Sea missile cruiser, has sunk. It attributes the loss to an unexplained fire, which ignited ammunition, and says it capsized “in choppy seas” while being towed to port. Ukraine says it hit the Moskva with at least one of its Neptune anti-shipping missiles, and that this caused it to sink.
