Russian warship Moskva gutted by fire, Ukraine claims credit
[PMNewsNigeria] Russia's major warship the 'Moskva' was evacuated Wednesday after an ammunition explosion triggered a ravenous fire that will likely sink the ship.

The Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement on Wednesday night that the cruiser suffered "serious damage," adding that the cause of the fire was under investigation.

The entire 500-man crew has been "safely" evacuated, Russian military said.

However, Ukrainian officials on Wednesday evening claimed that a battery of their Neptune anti-ship missiles hidden in Odessa had successfully struck the Moskva twice, setting the cruiser ablaze.

Among those making the claim were Maksim Marchenko, head of the military administration in Odessa, and Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the Interior Ministry in Kiev.
