Russia said its Black Sea fleet flagship, the Moskva, sunk one day after a fire broke out onboard, which Ukrainian officials attributed to a missile strike.
The ship was being towed back to Sevastopol, the largest city on the Crimean Peninsula, for repairs on Thursday when it sank, according to CNN, which cited Russia’s Defense Ministry, though a missile strike was not mentioned as the cause of the damage.
