The enemy struck a tanker flying the Panamanian flag
"An enemy UAV struck a tanker flying the Panamanian flag, which was waiting to enter the port to load vegetable oil," Kuleba said.
One crew member was injured in the attack. He is currently receiving the necessary medical attention.
Maritime rescue services are working at the scene, extinguishing the fire on board.
Attack on a ship flying the flag of San Marino
Russian troops also attacked a ship flying the flag of San Marino, which was leaving the port with a cargo of corn. There were no casualties, and the ship continues on its way.
"This is further proof that Russia is deliberately attacking civilian vessels, international trade, and maritime safety. Despite constant terror from the aggressor, Ukraine continues to operate its ports and fulfill its international obligations," Kuleba emphasized.
- We remind you that on January 9, Russia attacked two ships in the ports of Odesa: a crew member, a Syrian citizen, was killed and others were injured.
