Nothing in the news about this. A lot of reposts on social media, including Twitter though.As of my posting this, Krasnyi Luch ammunition depot is still on fire and blowing up.
The Snake has bitten again. Highly dangerous area for russian ships and aircraft but they try again and again.Ukraine claims that it sank a logistics ship with a Harpoon anti-ship missile.
True but now the aircraft carrier can't go anywhere since it has no engine coz that was in the tug.Wasn't that ship just a tug? If so, two missiles is a lot to spend on it.
It was being used as a transport for supplies, munitions and personnel.Wasn't that ship just a tug? If so, two missiles is a lot to spend on it.
Let's not accept anything not first confirmed and then reported.The video shows 2 missile hits. The 2nd missile comes in at ~0:10.
This did not age well. It's better to wait.It's seeming more and more likely that the Claims about the Russian Frigate Admiral Makarov being stuck by Ukrainian Anti-Ship Missiles is True....

It's seeming more and more likely that the Claims about the Russian Frigate Admiral Makarov being stuck by Ukrainian Anti-Ship Missiles off the Coast of Odessa is True, multiple Rescue Ships and Aircraft are reportedly in the Area with U.S Surveillance Drones keeping eyes on it.
Though so far this is still not 100% Confirmed.

Russian boat reportedly sunk while bringing supplies to Black Sea island made famous by Ukrainian guards
A Russian military tugboat carrying a surface-to-air missile launcher to Snake Island in the Black Sea sank after two Ukrainian missiles struck it, Kyiv announced Friday.www.stripes.com
Hopefully, they will be carried by UAVs in future.The US is currently working on modifying G/VLLDs for use with Ukrainian laser designated weapons, while keeping the ability to designate for NATO laser designated weapons.
For those not already familiar with the system, this is the laser designator used with the tripod in the man portable version, or while mounted on vehicles like the M113 based FIST vehicles. It can be said that the G/VLLD allows line-of-sight designation to the horizon. Basically, if the object can be clearly seen by the designator user, it can be targeted - including at night using an integrated thermal imaging sight.
Or let them bring more assets and then hit the island with MLRS from several directions. The perfect stationary target for the training.Anything trying to transport AA Assets to Snake island needs to be blown out of the water. One way or another. If they run out of missiles they'd need a sea-skimming SU-25 with rockets to do the job
Probably, the first disclosure of the Ukraine's losses in vehicles and artillery.
"As of today, we have approximately 30 to 40, sometimes up to 50 percent of losses of equipment as a result of active combat. So, we have lost approximately 50 percent. … Approximately 1,300 infantry fighting vehicles have been lost, 400 tanks, 700 artillery systems."
