The Ukrainian General Staff issued the statement that - aside from a S-400 air defense battery - the Russian Improved-Kilo-Class submarine "Rostov-na-Donu" (B-237) has been destroyed in the port of Russian-occupied Sevastopol. Satellite pictures released by the TG channel "DniproOfficial" show that the cover of docking area, where the Rostov was recently docked, is littered with burn marks. This submarine was struck last year in September by Ukrainian missiles and was heavily damaged. Russians have been trying to repair that submarine since then.

Twitter won't let me embed, but watch to the end. Nothing graphic, just an intense look at what front line soldiers are dealing with. Mortars, then buzzing, followed by more mortars and more buzzing- all around you. It's a reminder of what these soldiers are going through every day. https://x.com/redanblacattack/status/1818722134749053074?t=Eim13a_-e21pr__1i-z6sQ&s=19
