Panamanian, Barbadian vessels damaged by attack in Ukrainian waters, ports authority says
Two vessels under Panamanian and Barbadian flags were damaged in an attack while moving through Ukraine's Black Sea navigation corridor. The Ukrainian Ports Authority reported that one vessel was headed for the port of Odesa with a cargo of metal, while the second was carrying grain and had left the port. The attacks were reportedly carried out by Russian drones, according to the governor of Odesa region, Oleh Kiper.
- ▪The vessels were operating within the navigation corridor set up by Ukrainian authorities to allow ships to travel through the Black Sea to Romanian ports on the Danube River.
- ▪A fire broke out aboard one of the ships, but was quickly extinguished by the crew with no injuries reported.
- ▪The attacks are part of a larger effort by Russian forces to disrupt the operation of the Ukrainian maritime corridor and terrorize the Odesa region.
