Ammunition detonated on the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the Moskva cruiser, the ship was seriously damaged, the crew was completely evacuated, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
If this spontaneous detonation sounds like bullshit, it's because it most likely is bullshit. The "ammunition" that detonated was apparently delivered by a Ukrainian "Neptune" missile.
The Ukrainian military has hit the Russian cruiser Moskva by Neptune missiles, causing serious damage to the warship.
BTW allegedly that's the infamous "Russian warship" from the early days of the war.
Edit:
unconfirmed report of distress signal and eventual sinking. ~500 people on board ("completely evacuated" is likely bullshit too) and a massive blow to the Black Sea fleet and to Putin's ego.
Two missiles sent. The best evidence that it was an Ukrainian attack are the reports of the rest of the ships moving further away from Ukraine, as reported by US and verifiable by OS Int. That is a fuc**ng ton of money.

The strategy of the 'defenders' did indeed seem to be to use multiple civilian buildings and keep the civilians hostage in them while doing so. At least that's my analysis based on the footage I've seen and the pretty much universal testimony of the liberated civilians.

Source? Please, do not say it comes from any Russian Ministry pleaaaase...
From a source I normally trust, except when they claim that taxes are too high, residents from Yahidne, south of Chernihiv were kept as shield for Putin's troops.
They claim that some Russian soldiers were kind of helpful, even escorting them to grab water, clothes or take some fresh air (that is, apart from having them kidnapped in basements in which people did die of suffocation and the rest had to live with the corpses. Some were not even a year old), but others were threatening. However they did shoot a father and an 12yr old daughter when they tried to escape town.
However, the Buddhist Tuvan troops (Tuva religion) ... that was a different story. They raped, treated with violence, drunk a lot and did not let them out of the basements ever.
All of them looted laptops, branded clothes, phones,... Just vulgar thieves.
Soldiers had been given "kits" explaining them why they were in Ukraine.
