Suvorov to take Ochakov by storm. At 23-degree frost the Russian went on the attack, which lasted about an hour and a quarter, and the battle inside the fortress for about an hour. The Turks fiercely defended. Trophies were 310 guns and 180 banners. Data about the Turkish casualties were given different. In any case, about 4,000 Turks were captured. It means that about 16 thousand defenders of Ochakov were killed at storm. The news of Ochakov’s fall shocked Sultan Abdul-Hamid I so much that he died of a heart attack.
