AFU Hits Russian Frigate Admiral Makarov Near Zmeiny Island

(Updated) According to preliminary information, the ship was hit by a Ukrainian Neptun missile.

A number of media reports the Ukrainian military has hit another Russian Black Sea Fleet ship, the frigate Admiral Makarov.

This information was published by Forbes referring to the OSINT-1988 investigative project.

As Dumskaya learned, enemy aviation is now circling over this area of the Black Sea waters, and rescue ships from the temporarily occupied Crimea have come to the ship's aid.

"The explosion followed by combustion took place on board the Russian Project 11356R frigate Burevestnik type, which is near Zmeiniy Island," Dumskaya wrote.

It is not yet clear which of the three frigates of this type in the Russian Black Sea Fleet was damaged and what caused the emergency situation.

It should be noted that information about the explosion on the ship appeared on social media as early as yesterday evening. Today, however, we have received confirmation that such an incident did take place.

The circumstances of another failure of the Russian fleet are being investigated.

According to preliminary information, the ship was hit by the Ukrainian PKK Neptun.

Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Honcharenko said on Telegram that the Ukrainian military hit the Russian frigate Admiral Makarov with the Neptun.

According to him, it happened near Odesa.

"Again the god of the sea punished these scoundrels, and another Russian warship has not yet followed the way it should, but got enough, and hopefully it will soon happen. Great news from Odesa," Horcharenko said.

Later, an updated information of the AFU General Staff published on 6 May revealed that Russia had lost another warship in the last 24 hours of the war with Ukraine.
