Mosvka hit by two Ukrainian missiles: US officials
US officials, speaking anonymously, say they believe the Russian missile cruiser was hit by two Ukrainian Neptune missiles and there were Russian casualties when the ship sank, Qazet.az reports.
Russia says the Moskva, the flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, sank after a fire onboard.
The 510-crew warship was a symbol of Russia's military power, leading its naval assault on Ukraine.
Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine's ministry of internal affairs, said the ship's captain, Anton Kuprin, had died during an "explosion and fire on board".
