It's been reported that three crew members were killed, four more were wounded, and the captain's cabin was destroyed.

Russia has accidentally sunk one of its own ships with a missile during naval drills off the coast of the Kaliningrad region, killing three crew members and injuring four others, according to local media reports.During a Baltic Fleet exercise on March 19, a missile mistakenly blew up the trawler Captain Lobanov, independent television channel TV Rain reported, citing a relative of one of the crew members.

Authorities reported at the time that a 'fire' broke out on the ship, and that just one person was killed.'When they were taking away the survivors, everyone knew perfectly well that three people had been killed,' the source told TV Rain. 'And everyone knew perfectly well that a missile had hit. But they decided to write that there was a 'fire.' I wonder what kind of fire it was, if the captain's cabin was completely gone, it was simply blown away.
