Ukraine's air force said Tuesday it had destroyed a Russian fleet ship off the Crimean peninsula. 

"Around 2:30 am (0030 GMT) on December 26, tactical aviation of the Air Force attacked with cruise missiles the Novocherkassk large landing ship of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation in the area of Feodosia," it said in a post on messaging platform Telegram.

The Russian defense ministry later said that Ukraine had used guided missiles launched by aircraft to attack Feodosia.

Governor of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, said on Telegram that one person had been killed and two injured as a result of the attack.
