A Russian warship that attacked Ukraine's Snake Island last month has been destroyed, military sources told The Times on Tuesday.

The Times reported that a large patrol corvette named the Vasily Bykov appeared to have been hit by rockets early Monday morning local time.

"Ship was destroyed, it is confirmed," a Ukrainian military source told The Times.

The Times described a military-intelligence group as saying the Vasily Bykov was one of two ships that attacked Snake Island last month, in an incident in which Ukrainian soldiers told a Russian ship to "go fuck yourself."

The Ukrainian navy told The Times that troops defending Odesa had "struck an enemy ship" and that "the enemy has retreated again."

A video shared on Facebook by the Ukrainian navy on Monday appeared to show troops in Odesa attacking a ship. The caption did not identify the ship.

The Times said that in the video, two men could be heard questioning whether they hit the ship.

"We fucking hit them," one of the men said, according to The Times.
