* Ball of flames and smoke seen rising from Berdyansk, a Ukrainian port under the control of Russian forces
* Kyiv's navy claimed to have hit and destroyed the Orsk, a 370ft Alligator-class Russian landing ship
* If confirmed, it would be the largest vessel that Ukraine has struck and another embarrassing loss for Putin
* Russian state media revealed the ship's location just days earlier, showing it unloading armoured vehicles
Ukraine has destroyed a huge Russian ship just days after state media filmed it unloading reinforcements at a captured port, as Putin's army continues to suffer punishing losses at the hands of Kyiv's men.
The Ukrainian navy said early Thursday that it had scored a direct hit on the Orsk, a 370ft Russian Alligator-class tank carrier, as it was sitting at anchor in the captured port of Berdyansk, in the south of Ukraine.
Multiple photos and videos showed thick black smoke rising from the port as one ship sat at the harbour in flames, while another two sailed away - one of which also appeared to be damaged.

Good shootin’ fer sure
And the Captcha was picking boats.
Clearly we are now in this war showing capabilities that should be beyond Ukraine at this stage. Time to get skinny and hone old skills people or do it the hard way and deal with it when it comes. Either way most of us don’t escape virus and war combined.
