The Russian navy appears to have accidentally blown up one of its own ships in the black sea in the latest blunder for Putin's forces.
A landing craft is reported to have exploded when it hit a Russian sea mine near Mariupol.
The crew is said to have survived the friendly-fire incident, but the reputation of Russia's naval commanders is not so unscathed.
'Near Mariupol, a landing craft of the Black Sea Fleet D-106 blew up on a mine,' said a Telegram channel related to the Russian navy.
'Waiting for a confirmation of this suicidal goodwill gesture,' said the Twitter account English Luhansk, mocking Russia's previous withdrawal statements.
Another user called it a 'special under water operation'.
'More company for [the] Moskva, down they go!' said a third, reminding users of the Russian flagship guided missile cruiser that sank on 14 April after a Ukrainian bombardment.
Moskva was the very warship told to 'go f*** yourself' by heroic soldiers on Snake Island in the early days of the war.
The news comes after Russia retreated from Snake Island following heavy bombardment from Ukrainian artillery.
Russia said it had withdrawn from the strategically significant Snake Island as a 'goodwill gesture' after heavy bombardment.

“Humiliation!”
😂
ZEEPER DAILY MAIL ALERT!!
Daily Mail must have a crack Frogman Corps to know the origin of the mine! I don’t doubt a single word from this bastion of truth…
Tell Putin to say goodbye to Kherson. LOL!
In a gesture of goodwill, Russia contributes to de-mining efforts in the Ukraine.
It’s a good thing Russia brought so many mobile incinerators! Little Marco and daily mail have sealed their fate
Comrade, I think these training exercises are getting a little too realistic for comfort!
You would think they kept some sort of record on where they placed them. Whoopsie.
**Tell Putin to say goodbye to Kherson. LOL!**
You forgot to say your usual, “too funny”, markieminimum.
“Too funny” is currently reserved for watching all of the Buryats, Dagestanis, Chechens, Syrians, DPRs and Kherson collaborators jumping into the Dnieper and trying to swim back to Crimea from Kherson over next 2 weeks!
Could be the problem:
Putin heard that many Russian soldiers are getting sick in Ukraine, so he sends a health inspector to join the Russian army to improve its sanitary conditions. The inspector asks a general:
“How do you prepare drinking water?”
“First, we filter it. Then we boil it.”
“And after that?”
“Well… just to be cautious, we just drink vodka.”
Putin is cleaver. He is converting his surface ships to submarines. The Moskava now lurks on the bottom of the Black Sea at the ready for battle. LOL
“The crew is said to have survived the friendly-fire incident, but the reputation of Russia’s naval commanders is not so unscathed.”
So the Roosian mines are also junk? How could anyone survive a water mine? Must be Chink parts.
How did the Daily Mail confirm it was a Russian mine and not a Ukrainian one?
I’ll give you 10 to 1 that it was a Ukrainian drifter.
Has Russia ever released casualty info related to the sinking the Moskva?
