Ukrainian forces have reportedly destroyed a Russian warship and damaged two other vessels in the besieged Port of Berdyansk.

Ukraine’s military said on Thursday that it hit alligator-class landing ship Orsk, causing an onboard explosion and fire to reach nearby ships, an ammunition depot and a fuel terminal, BBC News has reported.

Berdyansk, which lies west of the besieged city of Mariupol, was seized four days after Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February.
