MANILA, Philippines — A third Filipino seafarer has died in recent attacks on ships operating in the northern Black Sea, following the two other fatalities reported last week, the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) said on Saturday.
Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac said the seafarer was killed during Russian attacks on Ukrainian ports where ships transporting Filipino seafarers dock from time to time.
He said a total of 17 ships carrying 236 Filipino seafarers were trapped during the strikes, which have led to 15 injuries and three deaths, with one still missing.
