Humiliation for Putin after Ukraine strikes prized Russian warship which survived both World Wars

"Ukraine has taken responsibility for a missile strike which left a Russian navy ship - the oldest active duty vessel in the world - ablaze today.

Footage emerged this morning of a fire and heavy smoke billowing from one end of a ship, reportedly the 112-year-old Kommuna salvage vessel, in Sukharnaya Bay in the Russian-occupied Crimean city of Sevastopol. Fire engines were scrambled to extinguish the blaze on board the ship - which has sailed for the modern Russian, Soviet and even Imperial Russian navies since before the start of the First World War.
The inferno followed a series of explosions in the area as authorities were forced to put out missile warnings and temporarily close the Russian-built Kerch Bridge. Local media speculated that a Ukrainian Neptune anti-ship missile had damaged the ship, but Russian sources hit back, claiming the missile had been shot down and the resulting debris - "falling fragments" had led to a fire on board."
