The death of the captain of a trawler, which the ruZZian Navy mistakenly blew up with a missile in the Baltic Sea, has been confirmed.
According to Dozhd, three crew members were killed and four others were injured.

A message about the farewell to Pavel Rezvanov appeared on the social networks of his relatives.

On March 25, in Guryevsk, a farewell is held for Pavel Rezvanov, the captain of the fishing trawler "Kapitan Lobanov". This was reported on VKontakte by a relative of Rezvanov.

Dozhd told about the hit of a Russian Navy missile in the trawler, citing a relative of one of the crew members. The incident occurred on March 19 in the Baltic Sea near the city of Pionersky.

During the exercises of the Baltic Fleet the missile was accidently fired at their own fishing trawler. As a result of the hit, three crew members of the Kapitan Lobanov were killed and four more were injured.

The Z-propaganda media like TASS reported only one death 'during a fire on board', while nothing was said about the causes of the "emergency situation".

“When the survivors were being rescued, everyone knew perfectly well that three people had died,” a source told the journalists from Rain TV.

“And everyone knew perfectly well that it was a missile hit. But they decided to write there was a 'fire'. It's curious what kind of fire it was when there's no trace of the captain's bridge, it was completely destroyed.”

The publication added that the injured were questioned by the FSB. Russian security forces asked the crew members to "keep quiet" about the incident.

A second missile, according to the source, fell into fishing nets near another civilian vessel, not far from Kapitan Lobanov.
