Ukraine's military intelligence disables Russian Baltic Fleet ship Alexander Obukhov

The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine reported this.

The military intelligence said that the ship is currently undergoing major repairs. The M-503 engine is damaged, and it is technically difficult and expensive to repair the key installation on the ship.
