MOSCOW: Five Azerbaijani citizens were killed and three others injured in attacks on two cargo vessels in the Sea of Azov, Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry said on Friday. Responding to a question about the vessels hit in Taganrog Bay, the ministry said the crews included 25 Azerbaijani citizens in total, but that the ships do not belong to Azerbaijan. Earlier on Friday, Ukraine said that its drones had struck five ships in the ports of Mariupol and Berdyansk, as well as in the coastal waters of Russian-controlled territories.

A tanker and two cargo ships in Taganrog Bay in the Sea of Azov, Russia's Krasnodar Krai, came under a drone attack on the morning of 5 June.
