According to the intelligence, two vessels of invaders were damaged: one of the older Project 1176 Akula and another of the modern Project 11770 Serna.

"As a result of the attack, both Russian vessels sank: the Akula - immediately, the Serna - unsuccessfully fought for survival, but also sank," the GUR said.
