Russian Torpedo Attack Sinks Turkish Ironclad Monitor on Danube
A Russian flotilla under Lieut Denbasoff attacked Turkish monitors near Matchin on the Danube. The Craovitch torpedo boat struck the leading monitor, a second explosion sank it within minutes, while other Turkish ships fired back with no effect. The action lasted under twenty minutes, with Russian boats withdrawing unharmed. Torpedoes appear to threaten Turkish fleet as gunboats support the assault.
