A key Russian submarine suffered "catastrophic" damage in a recent Ukrainian attack, UK intel said.
The loss is significant, the MOD said, as it's one of four cruise-missile-capable subs in Russia's Black Sea Fleet.
It could take "many years" before the submarine can return to service, the UK MOD said.

A major Ukrainian strike on a Crimean naval base has likely inflicted so much damage to a key Russian submarine that it could take years to return it to service, according to UK intelligence.
