NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg hailed Ukraine's recent gains in the Black Sea as a "great achievement," after Kyiv said it had destroyed another Russian warship near the shores of Crimea.

"The Ukrainians have been able to inflict heavy losses on the Russian Black Sea Fleet," Stoltenberg told a news conference. "And this is a great achievement, a great victory for Ukrainians."

The Caesar Kunikov amphibious ship sank near Alupka, a city on the southern edge of the Crimean peninsula that Moscow annexed in 2014, Ukraine's General Staff said. It said the ship could carry 87 crew members.
