Tanzanian-flagged civilian ship hit by drone in Black Sea
A Tanzanian-flagged civilian vessel was struck by a drone in the Black Sea while traveling toward a Ukrainian port, according to Ukrainian authorities. The attack resulted in the death of the ship's captain and left three crew members injured.
The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that it struck a vessel located 11 kilometers off the port of Odessa, claiming the cargo was intended to supply the Ukrainian armed forces.
This incident is part of ongoing drone warfare in the Black Sea, where both Russia and Ukraine have targeted cargo ships to disrupt each other's maritime exports and economic stability. While Turkey has proposed a mutual cessation of these strikes, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov previously noted that such an initiative would be impossible to monitor.
