Black Sea: Video appears to show Ukrainian sea drones sink Russian warship

Ukraine's military intelligence agency has released footage appearing to show Ukrainian sea drones destroying a Russian warship in the Black Sea off the Crimean peninsula.

After several direct hits, the vessel was damaged to an extent it could not stay afloat, the agency said, naming the warship as the Ivanovets.

The Russian government made no immediate statement, but a Telegram account with Russian military links said Ukraine had attacked at night, with nine naval drones.
