The occupiers in Sevastopol disguised the traces of the attack on their ship.

But the ATES guerrilla movement recorded this fact and wrote about it on its Facebook page.

A ship with obvious signs of damage after a missile strike by the Ukrainian Defense Forces was found in the Kilen Bay area.

On the upper deck of the ship, destruction is visible, which the occupants are trying to hide with a net. The ship is accompanied by towing boats, and water is being pumped out of the ship, which may indicate that the internal compartments are flooded and the hull is seriously damaged. This is a direct confirmation that the strike hit its target.

At the time of the strike, the rebels claim, the ship was at the 13th shipyard. The ship's tail number was painted over in another attempt to conceal the loss.

All the collected data, including the coordinates and current status of the Russian Black Sea Fleet ships, were transferred to the Ukrainian Defense Forces for further fire control. - Crimean patriots write.

Reference: "Atesh" (Ateş in Crimean, literally translated as<b>"Fire"</b>) is a military guerrilla movement in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine and Russia, created by Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars in September 2022 after the Russian military invasion.

Earlier, we wrote that resistance agents conducted reconnaissance in the area of Balaklava Bay in the temporarily occupied Crimea and recorded suspicious activity near a former military facility, a Soviet underground submarine base known as the 825 GTS facility.

According to members of the resistance movement, the facility could be used as a sheltered ammunition cache, a base for the rapid deployment of maritime drones, or as a protected command post for the Russian military.
