The Russian authorities are remaining silent.

On the night of August 7, a ship sank off the coast of Russia, but Russian authorities are maintaining a suspicious silence on the matter. OSINT expert Exilenova+ drew attention to the incident.

According to his information, the vessel sank in the Black Sea near Novorossiysk. “The news received relatively little coverage, but there’s a catch. Russian authorities haven’t reported a single shipwreck. It simply sank. It cannot be ruled out that the ship was carrying military cargo for the Russian Armed Forces. Otherwise, why pretend that nothing happened?” the expert wrote, posting a photo of the half-submerged vessel.

According to preliminary data, this is a fairly large ship over 140 meters long.

It should be noted that Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces, had previously reported strikes against the Russian “shadow fleet” on August 6 and 7—according to his information, two tankers and four dry cargo ships were damaged in the waters of the Black and Azov Seas at that time.
