Ukraine hits another Russian ship in Black Sea

The Ukrainian Navy struck the Vasily Bekh tug of the Russian Black Sea Fleet that was carrying supplies and soldiers to strengthen Russian presence on the occupied Snake Island, reported from Ukrinform.

The tug also had a Tor surface-to-air missile launcher on board, which failed to protect the vessel from being "demilitarized," the Navy's press service said.

Built at the Astrakhan shipyard, the Vasily Bekh tugboat, with a displacement of 1,605 tonnes, joined the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation in 2017.
