The enemy attacked Odessa with ballistic missiles. A civilian vessel in the port once again became the target of the Russians.
In two days, Russia attacked the second civilian ship that was in the ports of Odesa, the Minister for Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine, Oleksiy Kuleba, said.
The Palau-flagged vessel “Optima” was damaged by a ballistic missile.
Unfortunately, one person died. Five foreign citizens and crew members were injured. They are currently receiving medical assistance.
The vessel arrived at the port for loading on October 7, and on the same day became the target of the aggressor country.
In two days, the enemy damaged two ships that were supposed to take cargo from Ukraine. This is how Russia is trying to once again destroy shipping in the Black Sea and undermine Ukrainian efforts to guarantee food security.
