A Ukrainian navy spokesman said on Wednesday that the number of those who may have been killed in the raid may become clearer over time because the peninsula is currently under Russian control.

I think that over time, we will get at least approximate numbers [of casualties] “What actually happened,” Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletinchuk said in an interview with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.

“However, these ships are usually not left without a crew. Accordingly, even though they were in port at the time, a very large part of the crew had to be on board, the total crew there being about 80 people.

According to a US military fact sheet about Novocherkassk and other ships in the Ropucha class, the 369-foot (112.5 m) ship displaces about 3,450 tons, making it the same size as a US Navy littoral combat ship.

The ship is designed for beach landings with bow and stern doors and has the capacity to accommodate up to 25 armored personnel carriers on its deck.

Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk, who said in a Telegram post after the attack that the ship was destroyed, also claimed that the ship was carrying Iranian-made Shahed attack drones.
