A crew member aboard a Panama-flagged vessel was killed in the attack, while two other sailors were injured, and one of the wounded remains in critical condition. A second vessel sailing under the flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis was also hit, with three members of its crew sustaining minor injuries. The crews’ nationalities were not disclosed. Kuleba described the strike as further evidence that Russia is targeting freedom of navigation, international trade, and global food security. “Civilian crews, merchant vessels, and maritime infrastructure supporting humanitarian and export routes remain under attack,” he said. Kuleba called on the international community to treat such attacks as acts of terrorism and said the world should not become accustomed to civilian sailors being targeted by Russian weapons. He also expressed condolences to the family of the deceased sailor. Lack of security Friday’s attack is the latest incident in which merchant vessels are targeted in the Black Sea. In January, Russian drones struck a tanker carrying vegetable oil as it approached Ukrainian ports and another ship transporting corn as it departed. In April, a Liberia-flagged grain vessel was set ablaze after it was struck by a Russian drone.
