One crew member died and 27 are missing after Russia's guided-missile cruiser, the Moskva,
sank last week in the Black Sea, the Russian Ministry of Defense said Friday, according to Russian state media TASS.
It added that the remaining 396 crew members were evacuated from the Moskva cruiser to nearby Black Sea fleet ships and sent to Sevastopol.
The ship sank in the Black Sea on April 14 and CNN reported it was the biggest wartime loss of a naval ship in 40 years.
Ukraine and Russia have provided conflicting accounts of what happened that day.
Ukrainians said the Moskva sunk after being struck by Ukrainian missiles, but Russia denies the claim, insisting that the reason for the sinking was a fire. But the US on April 15 confirmed Ukraine's account, with a senior defense official saying that the US believes that two Ukrainian Neptune missiles hit the Russian warship.
