Russia's Minsk Ropucha-class landing ship was struck in a Ukrainian missile attack on the Black Sea Fleet in Crimea in September.
New satellite images show that Russia's Minsk Ropucha-class landing ship has been dismantled, weeks after it was struck in a Ukrainian cruise missile attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet in the port of Sevastopol, in annexed Crimea.The Minsk and the Rostov-on-Don Kilo-class attack submarine were hit by a cruise missile and drone strike on the Sevastopol shipyard on September 13 as they were undergoing dry-dock repairs or maintenance.
Experts close to Ukraine's defense ministry previously told Newsweek that Kyiv is embarking on a strategy to 'demilitarize' the Black Sea Fleet as part of steps toward eventually liberating Crimea, which was annexed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2014.Amid the string of attacks, Russia appears to be moving the fleet away from the port of Sevastopol in Crimea, satellite images published last month showed.
