According to the State Seaport Authority, a merchant ship was struck by a drone while transiting the Ukrainian maritime corridor. The bulk carrier, sailing under the flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis toward the Port of Greater Odessa, was struck by two drones.
The impact caused a fire on board, which the crew managed to extinguish. No injuries have been reported so far.
Ships in the crosshairs of enemy attacks
Russian troops are attempting to disrupt the peaceful corridors through which ships are heading to Ukrainian ports. In March, a Russian drone struck a foreign vessel as it was leaving the port of Chornomorsk in the Odesa region. As a result of this attack, there were casualties among the crew, who received the necessary medical assistance, and an evacuation was carried out.
