74 occupants died during the destruction of the Russian landing ship Novocherkassk

This was reported by the Centre for National Resistance with reference to the intercepted letter.

The intercepted letter confirms the death of most of the personnel of the ship, which the Defence Forces destroyed on 26 December in the temporarily occupied Crimea.

Cyber Resistance activists have a letter from the chief commander of the Russian navy with a proposal to declare mourning in the city of Novocherkassk in connection with the deaths of 74 occupants," it said.

In addition, 27 more personnel were wounded.

The CNS also recalled that a number of Crimean mass media published reports by the press service of the Russian Black Sea Fleet about the loss of the ship's personnel. However, most of the publications were later deleted.
