A UKRAINIAN missile struck Putin's oldest naval vessel in a massive blow to Russia's forces in Crimea.
Footage showed flames and smoke billowing out from the 112-year-old warship in the occupied port of Sevastopol this morning.
Explosions hit the area as Russians were forced to issue a missile warning and close Putin's prized Crimea bridge.
Fire engines reportedly rushed to the port to put out the blaze on the 315-ft long vessel.
A caption under the dramatic video, shared by Astra on Telegram, said: "The rocket hit the ship. See, it's burning."
The vessel hit by Ukraine is Kommuna, the world's oldest navy vessel and a prized member of Putin's Black Sea fleet.
First launched in 1913, it's an impressive target for Ukrainian forces after surviving two world wars.

The Kommuna was apparently being prepped to salvage Putin's beloved sunken Moskva warship.

This just changed my mind. Ukraine might actually win.
Hot Damn! The war must be over now. Do we still have to borrow that $61B?
Damn. Just how old is Putin that he’s had a warship for 112 years?
New York Times: 500 dollar Russian drones disabled the 10 million dollar Abrams tanks of the United States
In a report referring to the role of drones in the Ukraine war, an American newspaper wrote that Russia used drones that cost about $500 to target the $10 million Abrams… pic.twitter.com/35tVq30Zu6— S p r i n t e r F a c t o r y (@Sprinterfactory) April 20, 2024
Yeah, the Ukes are upping their game going after clipper ships and those that fought in the Bolshevik Revolution. Glad to see our billions going for a good cause.
It was probably a floating museum like the Battleship North Carolina.
Ukraine just took out Russia’s only salvage and recovery ship in the Black Sea.
Gee and have you seen the many thousands of Ukraine drones and what do you think they have been doing to Russian tanks?
However you cut it, you anti American bum,
The equipment given by America, and even BEFORE we gave lots of it, stopped the Russians in their tracks and even took territory back from them- for more than two years.
So F Russia, it’s dictator, and it’s pathetic military.
That was the 61 billion.
That’s it - the war is over now! Zelensky and his trillions of our money has him on the ropes now!
Might want to change your flag from the US one to the Ukrainian one.

The Kommuna is actually a working salvage ship (or at least it was). Pretty amazing.
