Ukraine’s Navy has claimed that Russia’s Vsevolod Bobrov support vessel was damaged in one of its strikes in the intervening night between May 11 and 12.
Serhiy Bratchuk, a spokesman for the Odesa Regional Military Administration, posted on Telegram that the ship was damaged and set on fire as a result of a Ukrainian strike. He said the ship “is limping toward Sevastopol.”
However, Bratchuk added that, "the information is yet to be clarified." "But the fact that she suffered a ‘snake bite’ in the area of Snake Island is true," he said.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine claim they either lined up or destroyed half a dozen warships and cutters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, including the flagship cruiser Moskva, near the Snake Island.
