Satellite images emerge purportedly showing Russian Navy’s landing ship hit earlier

Satellite images were posted online of Russia’s large landing ship Olenegorsky Gornyak, which was brought to Novorossiysk after suffering an attack by maritime drones.

That’s according to Joseph Dempsey, an analyst with the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), who posted the images on Twitter.

Judging by these images, the battered ship was tugged to the bay in Novorossiysk. It can also be seen that the ship is listed to its port side, likely from damage sustained from the drone attack.
