Last night at 12:57 CET, the OSINTdefender<\/a> Twitter channel posted the following information: \"There are Unconfirmed reports from some Ukrainian Sources that the Russian Naval Ship the Admiral Makarov<\/strong> which is a Admiral Grigorovich-Class Frigate operating within the Black Sea has been struck by Ukrainian Anti-Ship Missiles off the Coast<\/strong>, so far there is no evidence.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

The Admiral Makarov frigate was laid down in 2012<\/strong> and launched in 2015, entering service with the Russian Navy in 2017, being assigned to the Black Sea Fleet. It is the most recent of the three ships of the \"Admiral Grigorovich\" Class that the Russian Navy has, and it is very well armed:<\/strong> it carries a 100 mm cannon, 8 launchers for 3M-54 Kalibr, P-800 Oniks and 3M22 Zircon cruise missiles, 24 launchers for medium-range 3S90M Buk surface-to-air missiles, 8 launchers for short-range 9K38 Igla missiles, two 533 mm torpedo tubes, one RBU-6000 Smerch-2 anti-submarine rocket launcher and two AK-630 rotary anti-aircraft guns 30mm.<\/p>\n

This morning, the Ukrainian media Dumskaya.net<\/a> has reported that the frigate would have been hit by a Ukrainian R-360 Neptun anti-ship missile<\/strong>, the same type of weapon with which Ukraine managed to sink the cruiser \"Moskva\" on April 13<\/a>. The Ukrainian media also pointed out the following: \"The explosion followed by a fire occurred on board the Russian frigate project 11356P of the Burevestnik type<\/strong>, which is located near Zmiiny Island\"<\/em>, the name given in Ukraine to the aforementioned Snake Island.<\/p>\n

Dumskaya.net has also posted this Sentinel Hub satellite image showing a fire on a ship in that area:<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dumskaya.net adds that \"enemy planes are now circling over this area of the Black Sea<\/strong>, rescue ships have come out to help the ship from Crimea.\"<\/em> In turn, the Dumskaya Telegram channel<\/a> reported at 11:32 CET: \"Unofficial Russian sources report that the new missile frigate \u201cAdmiral Makarov\u201d is in trouble.<\/strong> The \u201cAdmiral Makarov\u201d was commissioned in 2017. She is equipped with modern air defense systems and is armed with Caliber cruise missiles. According to preliminary information, the frigate was unable to dodge the Ukrainian anti-ship missile Neptune. The ship is badly damaged, but remains afloat. For now.<\/strong>\"<\/em><\/p>\n

At 11:32 CET, Liveuamap<\/a> posted: \"Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate of the Russian Navy Black Sea Fleet is reportedly on fire near Zmiiny island in Black Sea.<\/strong> Rescue operation ongoing, multiple aircraft, rescue vessels in the area.\"<\/em><\/p>\n

At 13:57 CET, the Twitter channel WARinUKRAINE.eth<\/a> has posted three alleged photos of the attacked ship. In the photo on the right, under these lines, you can see some smoke coming out of the ship:<\/strong><\/p>\n
