Russian invasion of Ukraine
In the third year of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, on 24 March 2024, Yamal and her sister ship RUSSIAN LANDING SHIP Azov were hit by Ukrainian cruise missiles while they were in their home port of Sevastopol, according to the Ukrainian general staff. Eyewitnesses reported explosions during the night. The recent satellite images did not reveal any damage, showing that the missile hit the pier next to the ship presumably due to the electronic warfare system.
