The Russian Black Sea Fleet's flagship, the Moskva missile cruiser, was damaged by heavy fire and the subsequent detonation of ammunition, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.

In a statement, the ministry revealed that "as result of the fire that hit the Moskva missile cruiser, the ammunition has detonated. The ship has been seriously damaged." 

All crew members were safely evacuated, according to the statement, and the cause of the incident is being probed.

The ship was laid down in 1976 at Mykolaiv and commissioned in 1983 under the name "Slava."

In the second half of 2015, the cruiser commanded the Russian naval task force in the Mediterranean, protecting the Russian Hmeimim base in Syria with its air defense systems. On July 22, 2016, it was awarded the Nakhimov Order.
