The trawler “Captain Lobanov” sank after it was hit by a Navy missile during an exercise

A relative of a crew member told Dozhd about this. According to him, on March 19, as a result of a missile hitting the ship, 3 crew members were killed and four were injured. The missile was fired during a Baltic Fleet exercise, he claims.

The government of the Kaliningrad region claims that there was a fire on board the trawler. According to authorities, one person died as a result of the incident.

“When the survivors were taken away, everyone knew perfectly well that three people had died. And everyone knew perfectly well that a rocket had hit. But they decided to write that there was a “fire.” I wonder what kind of fire this is, if the captain’s cabin is completely gone, it was simply demolished,” says Dozhd’s source.

The victims, according to the interlocutor, are in a hospital in the city of Pionersk, and one of them is in serious condition. At the hospital, the wounded were allegedly interrogated by FSB officers, who asked the crew members “not to talk about the incident.”

Earlier, the TV channel, based on open data from the automated tracking system AIS, found out that “Captain Lobanov” could have entered the training area of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy.
