Ukrainian Naval Vessel in Flames Following Russian Sea Attack

Ukrainian border guards released footage of a burning naval vessel shortly after it came under fire in the Azov Sea on August 31. Pro-Russian separatists have claimed responsibility for the land-based attack on the two Ukrainian ships, calling it the enemy’s first maritime defeat.

Fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian troops has recently escalated in the southeast of Donetsk and along the Sea of Azov, where separatists are increasingly posing a threat to Mariupol. Credit: YouTube/ДержавнаприкордоннаслужбаУкраїни
