The report of the destruction of the Russian anti-aircraft system follows news of a Russian ship, a tugboat of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation “Vasily Bekh” being sunk, according to the head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration Maksym Marchenko.
The Ukraine Navy took to Twitter to report hitting the Russian ship in the Black Sea stating:
“Ukrainian Navy damages tugboat with TOR SAM system on board”
“In the Black Sea waters, the tugboat Vashili Beh was hit while it was transporting ammunition, equipment and personnel of the Black Sea Fleet to Zmiyinniy Island.”
“Russian Black Sea tug Vasily Bekh (SB-739) is hit by what appears to be a Ukrainian antiship cruise missile,” posted one user alongside footage of the alleged missile strike.
