The video is mostly pitch black, except for a moment where a large flash is seen, which is seen as a Neptune missile hitting a Russian vessel.
The video comes after Russia said its missile cruiser Moskva was on fire.
Wall Street Journal foreign affairs correspondent Yaroslav Trofimov shared a post highlighting this from the social media app Telegram.
Trofimov tweeted, “Russia acknowledges that its Black Sea Fleet’s flagship missile cruiser Moskva is on fire and has been evacuated after being hit by two Ukrainian Neptune cruise missiles. A possible turning point in the war.”

The possibility of Russia replacing the potentially destroyed Moskva ship is also in doubt, according to a tweet by Daily Beast reporter David X.
“It gets worse for Russia. Turkey will in no way allow one of the remaining two ‘Slavic’ class cruisers to replace ‘Moskva’ in the Black Sea”, he tweeted.

No word about the reason.
In an update, the ministry later informed that the fire has been brought under control.
The incident has not dominated news bulletins here. Russian TV’s Channel 1 led the lunchtime news with claims of “more Ukrainian troops surrendering” to the Russian military. The program devoted only a few seconds to what happened to Moscow.
Whatever the reason, the loss to Moscow is bad news for Moscow. It is the flagship of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, and, as such, is a symbol of Russia’s military might.
Ukrainian presidential advisor Oleksiy Arestovych said that “a surprise happened with the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet”, the Moskva.

“It burns strongly. Right now. And with this stormy sea it is unknown whether they will be able to receive help. There are 510 crew members,” he said in a YouTube broadcast.
“We don’t understand what happened.”
There was no confirmation from the Russian military of any attack on the warship.
The Mosvka gained notoriety early in Moscow’s war when Ukrainian border troops defending a strategic island reportedly told it to “Fuck off” after it called on them to surrender.
