Russians attack another civilian ship under the Turkish flag (video)

Today, November 13, the Russians struck the Turkish vessel VIVA, which was heading from the ports of the Odesa region to Egypt with sunflower oil.

This was reported by the Ukrainian Navy.

It is noted that the strike, carried out by a drone, was carried out in the open sea in the exclusive maritime economic zone of Ukraine, outside the scope of Ukrainian air defense.

“Russia is grossly and cynically violating the norms of international maritime law. Such actions directly contradict the fundamental principles of freedom of navigation and are a blatant violation of the San Remo Guidelines,” the Ukrainian Navy said in a statement.

There were 11 Turkish citizens on board the vessel, no one was injured. The vessel continues to head to Egypt and remains in contact with the Ukrainian Navy.

USM previously reported that a fire broke out in the Odesa port as a result of one of the most massive attacks by the Russian Federation on the Odesa region.
