A Russian warship, part of the Black Sea fleet, has been sunched after an attack with a ship commanded overnight.
The Russian amphibious ship, which carries military vehicles and troops, has been photographed sunk on one side as several other ships try to pull it to the base in Novorossiysk.
Cnn's sources said the drone had a 450 kilogram of explosives, while at the time of the explosion there were about 100 Russian servicemen.

It is still unclear whether the explosion caused casualties or injuries.
The large ship named Lenogorsky Gornyak has suffered serious damage and can no longer function, a Ukrainian official said.
