On Thursday, April 14, two R-360 Neptune cruise missiles hit the Moskva cruiser inflicting essential damage to the vessel. Other warships of the Russian naval group attempted to assist their flagship, but a sea storm and a powerful detonation of munitions aboard the ship caused the cruiser to capsize and eventually sink.
