ANSWER: That is what is being reported HERE and HERE.
The Russian guided missile cruisier Moskva (Moscow) was supposedly hit by two Ukrainian cruise missiles sometime today (April 13). The ship has supposedly sent out a Morse Code SOS saying that it is sinking and that the crew have been evacuated. If the crew of nearly 500 have indeed been evacuated, then that would imply that they have given up on trying to save the ship from sinking.
If all of this is true, then Ukraine will have to update the number of Russian ships sunk from 7 to 8.
UPDATE: According to some sources, as reported by the Daily Mail HERE, this is what happened to the Russian guided missile cruisier Moskva (Moscow):
According to those sources, Moskva was sailing in the Black Sea between the Ukrainian port cities of Odesa and Mykolaiv when it was targeted on Wednesday evening.
Ukraine reportedly used Turkish-made Bayraktar drones to distract the ship's missile defences, allowing two Neptune missiles fired from a coastal battery to sneak through.
They struck the ship on the port side, the sources claimed, causing it to partially roll over. Choppy conditions at sea combined with the roll meant the ship began taking on water.
Due to fears that the ship's ammunition could detonate, the Moskva was evacuated and has now sunk, the sources added.
