Russian Warship Catches Fire At Sevastopol Naval Base In Occupied Crimea
A Russian Navy anti-submarine ship caught fire in Sevastopol, Crimea, on November 3, 2025, in an incident which took place in the Sukharnaya Bay.
Onlookers recorded the incident where a thick smoke could be seen rising from a moored vessel.
Observers confirmed that it was a small anti-submarine ship of Project 1124-M, also called Albatros-M.
The Russian Black Sea Fleet has 4 vessels of this class, the Muromets, Suzdalets, Kasimov, and Yeysk, which were constructed between 1982 and 1989.
Two were relocated to the Novorossiysk naval base last year, while the others have remained in Sevastopol.
It is unclear which of the vessels was involved in the fire or whether the incident was the result of an attack, a technical failure or something else.
Project 1124-M ships are made for coastal anti-submarine warfare, guarding naval bases and escorting other ships.
In 2018, these vessels were upgraded with RBU-6000 Smerch-2 rocket launchers capable of firing new anti-submarine munitions.
The damage to one of these ships could further put pressure on Moscow’s already decreased anti-submarine capacity in the Black Sea.
Russian authorities have not issued any statement regarding the incident or the damage caused.
