Mar 26, 2024
The Ukrainian Navy confirmed the damage of the Russian military landing ship Ivan Khurs. It is currently incapacitated.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing a statement by Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk during a telethon.
"As for the Ivan Khurs, we can confirm the damage to the reconnaissance equipment in the assault part of the ship. That is, it is not actually combat-ready now, it cannot perform its intended tasks," Pletenchuk said.
The Navy spokesman also confirmed the damage to two large amphibious assault ships, Azov and Yamal.
"Yamal has already finished docking and repairs, while Azov was still undergoing repairs," he said.
According to Pletenchuk, it was actually the best time to strike the vessels.
"This is a return to the constant question of where the occupiers are constantly repairing their ships and whether it is dangerous. It is dangerous as practice shows," he added.-
Yesterday it was reported that the Russian ship Ivan Khurs was probably damaged during a strike on Crimea on March 23. Thus, it became the third on the list after the damage to the Yamal and Azov warships.
