US EditionDrone strikes Turkish tanker in Ukraine’s Odesa, where US natural gas will go
The drone strike damaged port and energy infrastructure; all 16 crew members evacuated safely amid ongoing Russian attacks on Ukraine's vital Black Sea ports, officials said.
- On Monday a drone struck and set ablaze the Turkish-flagged tanker MT Orinda offloading liquefied petroleum gas at Izmail port, Odesa region, southern Ukraine, on a Black Sea estuary.
- Russia has repeatedly used drones, missiles and artillery against the Odesa region since the full-scale invasion, and Izmail is vital for Ukrainian imports while Volodymyr Zelenskyy pursues gas imports for winter.
- All 16 crew members evacuated with no injuries, authorities said, while the Orinda’s 4,000 tons of gas sparked Romanian local authorities to order evacuations of Plauru and nearby villages.
- The attack sparked multiple fires, damaged energy and port infrastructure and harmed civilian vessels while firefighting and emergency crews raced to contain blazes; elsewhere Russian strikes killed and injured civilians in Nikopol and Balakliya, Regional military administration head Oleh Kiper said.
- Calls for tougher action on shipping have grown, with NATO officials and Turkish MP Ulas Karasu urging protection after the drone attack at Izmail port.
