Russian military officials blamed damage to the Soviet-era ship on a fire caused by the detonation of ammunition that occurred while it was being towed. One video making its rounds on social media claimed to capture the dramatic aftermath of the Ukrainian missile strike. However, WebQoof, The Quint's fact-checking service, compared the viral video with older footage. Itwas actually from 2019 and shows a ship flying the flag of Tanzania in the Black Sea.
