Defense forces of Ukraine struck an enemy submarine and S-400 anti-aircraft missile complex in the temporarily occupied Crimea.

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to information confirmed yesterday by units of the missile forces, in cooperation with units of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 4 launchers of the Triumf air defense system were significantly damaged.

Also, in the port of Sevastopol, the submarine of the Black Sea Fleet of the russian federation "Rostov-on-Don" was successfully attacked. As a result of the hit, the submarine sank on the spot.

Submarine B-237 "Rostov-on-Don" (according to NATO classification - Kilo class) is one of the four submarines of the "Kilo" class capable of using Kalibr missiles.

"Rostov-on-Don" was commissioned on December 26, 2014. On September 13, 2023, as a result of a Ukrainian missile attack, the ship was seriously damaged.

Then it was repaired and tested in the water area of ​​the Sevastopol harbor. The cost of the submarine is estimated at USD 300 million.

"The destruction of “Rostov-on-Don” once again proves that there is no safe place for the russian fleet in the Ukrainian territorial waters of the Black Sea," the General Staff of the Armed Forces emphasized.
