Russia attacked a civilian vessel in the Black Sea for the second time in two days: one killed

Russia attacked a civilian commercial vessel in the Black Sea for the second time in two days. One person was killed and seven others were injured as a result of the new strike. This was reported by the Odesa Regional Military Administration.

A Russian drone hit a commercial vessel flying the flag of the Marshall Islands. The ship was carrying rapeseed oil.

The strike damaged the ship's superstructure, where a fire broke out. According to preliminary data, one person was killed and seven others were injured.

The Odesa Regional Military Administration called the strike another deliberate Russian attack on civilian shipping and port infrastructure. The administration emphasized that such strikes pose risks to international trade and global food security.

This is the second Russian attack on a civilian commercial vessel in the Black Sea in two days.

The day before, on October 5, Kurs wrote about the strike by two Russian drones on a civilian vessel that was in neutral waters and carrying corn.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy then reported that the vessel belonged to Turkey, and there were citizens of Azerbaijan and India on board. The captain died as a result of the attack.

Thus, within two days, Russian drones attacked at least two civilian vessels with agricultural cargo - corn and rapeseed oil.

Russia has repeatedly struck commercial vessels, Ukrainian sea ports, and infrastructure ensuring exports via the Black Sea before.
