'There Will Be More': Ukraine Says It Destroyed Russian Landing Ship 'Orsk' In Occupied Berdyansk

The Ukrainian Navy said Thursday their forces have destroyed a large Russian landing ship docked at the former's port of Berdyansk.

The city has been under Russian control since Feb. 27.

“The morning starts with good news! In the captured Russian port of Berdyansk, a large landing ship ‘Orsk’ of the Black Sea Fleet of the occupiers was destroyed. Glory to Ukraine!” a short statement on the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Twitter account read. The post was accompanied by a photograph of the alleged ship on fire. "There Will Be More," the navy said.

Russia has not responded to claims of the landing ship being destroyed.

Reports of two powerful explosions throughout the city surfaced early Thursday, according to the Daily Beast. There were also reports that the city had been “set on fire” by the Russian forces blowing up fuel storage facilities.

International Business Times could not independently confirm the authenticity of the image showing the "destroyed" Russian landing ship.

The port -- because of its strategic logistical importance for the delivery of manpower and military equipment to forces in the southern regions of Ukraine -- was an early target for the Russian invaders. The port city lies around 50 miles southwest of besieged Mariupol.

Ukraine may have managed to get its hands on one of Russia's most prized weapons, a module of the Kremlin's advanced 1RL257 Krasukha-4 mobile electronic warfare system, media reports said Tuesday.

The Russia-Ukraine war, which has been ongoing for nearly a month, has resulted in massive destruction along with hundreds of civilians being killed. Millions of Ukrainians have been displaced since the war began.

In a video message posted to Facebook on Wednesday night, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed Russians and told them, "save your sons from the war." Zelensky said Ukraine had never threatened the security of Russia, adding Russian propagandists "lie about the war, which is paid for by your taxes."

"Not to yours — to our land. To our people. We are doing everything to end this war. And when we succeed, it will certainly happen, you will be sure of at least one thing: your children will no longer be sent to die on our land, on our territory," he said, according to CNN.

"Equipment. Air bombs, missiles. Looking for mercenaries around the world. Any scum capable of shooting at civilians," Zelensky said. "Russian troops destroy our cities. Kill civilians indiscriminately. Rape women. Abduct children. Shoot at refugees. Capture humanitarian convoys. They are engaged in looting. They burn museums, blow up schools and hospitals. The target for them is universities, residential neighborhoods ... Anything! Russian troops do not know the limits of evil."
