A huge fire broke out on Thursday morning in the port of Berdyansk in Ukraine, as can be seen in photos and videos making the rounds on the internet.
The port of Berdiansk is located about 75 km northwest of Mariupol, in the Zaporizhzhya region.
Information about what happened and caused the fire is confusing at the moment. The Nexta TV agency initially reported that Russian ships may have been hit, clarifying that this was unconfirmed information.
Later, the Ukrainian Navy announced that a Russian ship of the Black Sea Fleet, the "Orsk" was destroyed. There are also reports that two more Russian ships have caught fire and that an ammunition depot was destroyed.
According to the Guardian, senior adviser to the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, Anton Gerasenko, posted a photo on Telegram showing thick smoke over a port, with the caption "A warehouse of ammunition and missiles in Russian-occupied Berdyansk".
