"After the missile cruiser "Moscow" with 16 cruise missiles was taken out of service, the total salvo of cruise missiles of the Black Sea ships of the Black Sea of the Russian Black Sea has decreased from 72 to 56.

Recall, the cruiser of the Russian Black Sea Fleet "Moscow" as a result of the strike of the Ukrainian anti-ship missile "Neptun" received significant damage and began to sink after a powerful explosion of ammunition.
This was reported on Facebook by the press service of the Operational Command "South".
"In the Black Sea operational area of the PKK "Neptun" struck the cruiser "Moscow" - the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia - has suffered significant damage. A fire broke out. Other units of the ship's group tried to help, but the storm and a powerful explosion of ammunition overturned the cruiser and it began to sink," the report said.
Meanwhile, Azov released a video of the explosion on the cruiser Moskva, the very "Russian warship".
