A Russian drone attack sank a Turkish-owned corn ship in the Black Sea, killing its captain and injuring 11 crew members. Ukraine's president condemned the strike.
A Russian strike on a Turkish-owned vessel in the Black Sea killed its captain and injured one crew member. The ship, carrying corn, sank following the attack. Ukrainian officials reported that 11 crew members were rescued. The incident involved a drone attack, according to reports.
This event underscores the continued risks to maritime traffic in the Black Sea, particularly for grain shipments. The attack on a vessel owned by Türkiye, a NATO member and a key player in mediating grain exports, adds a layer of diplomatic complexity to the ongoing conflict. The presence of Indian nationals among the rescued crew further highlights the international dimension of the incident.
