A Turkish cargo vessel has been damaged following a drone attack in the Black Sea.
According to reports, the incident occurred on the night of May 29, when a ship en route from one of the ports in Ukraine’s Odesa region to Türkiye was struck by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
Two crew members were injured in the attack and were evacuated by Ukrainian Navy boats to a medical facility for treatment.
The vessel, identified as ANT and sailing under the Vanuatu flag while carrying cargo from the Odesa region to Türkiye, reportedly caught fire following the strike.
Units from the Ukrainian Maritime Search and Rescue Service and the Navy were deployed to the scene, successfully containing and extinguishing the fire in a short period of time.
