The guest of the Russian Navy is said to have told that the warship was hit from land and that they tried to put out the fire on board.
Mora told the newspaper he did not want to tell us in detail what he went through, but said that several people were missing and many more were injured.
– Many of them had their limbs cut off, the mother claims and says the district should have said about 40 people must have died.

In the video, which barely reaches half a minute, one can see dozens of sailors in uniforms of the Russian Navy, but the clip makes it difficult to determine their number.
