| (35 minutes later) | |
| A Russian Navy reconnaissance ship has sunk after colliding with another vessel near the Bosporus, the Russian Defense Ministry reported. | |
| The hull of ‘the Liman,’ a 1,560-ton reconnaissance ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, was breached below the waterline in the collision, the Defense Ministry said. | |
| The Turkish coast guard said it rescued 78 people from the Russian ship. | |
| According to the Defense Ministry, ‘the Liman’ collided with another ship, ‘Ashot-7,’ about 40km northwest from the Bosporus Strait. | |
| Media identified the other ship involved in the collision as the Togo-flagged livestock carrier ‘Youzarsif H.’ | |
| ‘The Liman’ was built during Soviet times in Poland and commissioned in 1970. It is mostly unarmed, but carries a radar station, a hydroacoustic detector and other reconnaissance equipment needed to track surface ships and submarines. | ‘The Liman’ was built during Soviet times in Poland and commissioned in 1970.
