Thread: Pentagon press secretary statement: “We’re not quite exactly sure what happened here. We do assess that there was an explosion — at least one explosion on this cruiser — a fairly major one at that, that has caused extensive damage to the ship,”

“We assess that the ship is able to make its own way, and it is doing that; it's heading more towards now we think the east. We think it's probably going to be putting in at Sevastopol for repairs, but we don’t know what exactly caused that,”

1/2.. This text "Russian strategic Bombers are up" have indeed been on Fox News. However, I can't confirm whether Fox News is actually talking about right now or just in general. Since it was a "Fox News Alert (under)" I automatically assumed that they talked about right now.
Russian strategic bomber might very well be up, but I have deleted the post since I can't confirm the validity of it. I have contacted some Fox News journalists to try to understand what is happening. In fast moving news stories it's easy to make mistakes. I am really for this...
