A Russian Tarantul-class corvette sank in occupied Sevastopol, the pro-Ukrainian guerrilla movement Atesh reported on Telegram on Jan. 18.

During reconnaissance of vessels in Sevastopol, a sunken patrol ship of the 205P Tarantula class was discovered, Atesh said.

The ship was likely destroyed during an attack by naval drones on Russian in Sevastopol targets several weeks ago.

OSINT analyst MT Anderson reported on Jan. 16, citing satellite imagery, that the number of vessels of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in the bays of temporarily occupied Sevastopol was decreasing.
