Ukraine's armed forces on Saturday released footage said to show a Russian landing ship being destroyed near Snake Island.
The army said a Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2 destroyed the Russian ship.
Satellite images taken early Saturday by Planet Labs PBC showed what appeared to be a Serna-class landing ship near Snake Island's northern beach.
That corresponds with the video released by the Ukrainian military said to show a drone striking it, engulfing the vessel in flames.
The video also claims to show buildings on the island that had been destroyed in a barrage of drone attacks by Ukrainian forces.
Striking Snake Island would impede Russia's efforts to control the Black Sea.
