Moskva had sunk in the Black Sea after getting damaged during a military operation against Ukraine.
Ukraine had claimed it struck the flagship with missiles but Russian
authorities attributed the sinking to ammunition explosions.
"While being towed ... towards the destination port, the vessel lost
its balance due to damage sustained in the hull as fire broke out after
ammunition exploded. Given the choppy seas, the vessel sank," the state
news agency TASS quoted the Russian defence ministry as saying. It said
the crew was evacuated." WION
