The Moskva, the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, received "very serious damage", Odesa regional governor Maksym Marchenko said.

 

Earlier on Wednesday a fire was reported on the ship. Ukrainian presidential aide Oleksiy Arestovych said Russian rescuers were unable to reach the vessel.

 

He said the ship could have as many as 510 crew members on board.

Ammunition stockpiles aboard a Russian ship that was famously defied by Ukrainian troops early in the war have detonated, according to a statement from the Russian defence ministry.

 

A fire caused the explosion on the Moskva, the statement in Russian media said, adding that all sailors had evacuated beforehand.

 

The statement said: "The cruiser Moskva's ammunition has detonated as a result of a fire on the warship.

 

"The vessel is seriously damaged. The entire crew have been evacuated. The cause of the blaze is being investigated."

 

It did not specify the cause of the fire.

 

But earlier on Wednesday, the flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet was hit by Ukrainian rockets, according to the governor of Odesa.

 

Ukrainian officials said Russia was struggling to rescue the estimated 510 crew members on board.

 

The Moskva warship rose to fame early in the war when Ukrainian defenders of Snake Island refused calls to surrender and told the Russian ship to "go to hell", before they were ultimately taken prisoner.
