The pride of the Russian Navy - Flagship Moskva has been abandoned in the Black Sea due to a massive explosion and is down for the count.
The Ukrainian military first reported that they struck the Moskva with missile fire - then 2 hours later Russia reported that the explosion on-board was the result of ammunition somehow catching on fire. Huh? Are they saying the same thing? I mean I guess if a missile hits a ship it could cause the ammunition to catch on fire. Unless the Russian navy is saying that one of their soldiers inadvertently flipped a lit cigarette into the munition storage area - causing the explosion - and it wasn't a Ukrainian missile at all.??? Such a mystery.
In any event, the ship is now out of commission.
