Russian drones struck two foreign-flagged civilian ships in the Black Sea on Thursday night, Ukrainian authorities said.
According to Oleksii Kuleba, Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration, the drones hit one vessel flying the flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis and one Panamanian-flagged ship, leaving one person dead and five injured. One of the injured sailors is in a critical condition, per Kuleba.
"This is yet another proof that Russia is waging a war against freedom of navigation, international trade, and global food security," he wrote.
