Foreign ministry says closely monitoring crew injured in Black Sea drone attack
Türkiye has said it is closely monitoring the condition of two Turkish crew members injured after a Turkish-owned cargo ship was hit by a drone off Ukraine’s Chornomorsk port.
The Foreign Ministry said in a written statement on June 22 that the Panama-flagged vessel was attacked by an unmanned aerial vehicle in the Black Sea.
“The condition of our citizens is being closely monitored by our Embassy in Kiev and our Consulate General in Odesa,” the ministry said.
The ministry said Türkiye had conveyed its concerns to both Russia and Ukraine over attacks in the Black Sea that threaten Turkish interests and regional security.
