"Damaged Russian Submarine Revealed: Photos Show Gaping Hole After Crimea Attack"

Photos reveal a significant hole in the hull of a Russian submarine that was damaged in a Ukrainian missile attack on the Sevastopol Shipyard in Crimea. The submarine, identified as the Rostov-on-Don, is expected to require extensive repairs that could take years and cost millions of dollars. The attack also damaged another vessel, the Minsk. British intelligence suggests that the Minsk has likely been functionally destroyed, while the Rostov submarine has suffered catastrophic damage. The loss of the Rostov-on-Don removes one of the Black Sea Fleet's cruise-missile capable submarines, impacting Russia's ability to project power in the region. Ukraine's attack on Crimea is seen as part of preparatory measures before attempting to liberate the peninsula.
