2022-04-14 17:26:39 Pentagon: “We assess that the ship is able to make its own way, and it is doing that; it's heading more towards now we think the east. We think it's probably going to be putting in at Sevastopol for repairs, but we don’t know what exactly caused that,” Kirby added.
Kirby said the ship had been operating with a few other Russian vessels about 60 miles (about 96 kilometers) south of Odesa.
"The explosion was sizable enough that we picked up indications that other naval vessels around her tried to come to her assistance, and so eventually that wasn’t apparently needed. So she is making her own way across the Black Sea and we’ll continue to try and monitor this as best we can," he added.

There’s no confirmation from Russia that this was done by Ukraine. Ukraine has previously also tried to take credit for a fire onboard a russian ship, saying they “hit it” which turned out to be BS, so just be aware the Ukrainian claims are ‘heavily’ not confirmed. It also still appears to be afloat, there’s no confirmation of it sinking. (Ukraine tries to take credit for any mishap in the russian military, out of desperation) Open / Comment
