Russian drone strikes foreign cargo ship near Ukraine Black Sea port
The drone strike wounded multiple crew members on the Panama-flagged cargo ship carrying corn, part of Russia's effort to disrupt Ukraine's maritime exports, which account for 90% of trade.
- On March 5, the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority said a Russian drone damaged a Panama-flagged civilian vessel near Chornomorsk as it left port, without specifying damage extent.
- Russia in recent months has attacked Ukraine's maritime export arteries, with about 90% of exports moving through the Odesa port hub crucial to Ukraine's wartime economy.
- The Ukrainian navy said one crew member was hurt aboard the 'BULL' vessel, which the captain refused to evacuate, and Oleh Kiper stated `The vessel was carrying corn. As a result of the attack, some crew members were wounded`.
- The Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority said the vessel was hit while en route out of Chornomorsk and did not specify the damage extent, with the captain refusing assistance and continuing its voyage.
- The strikes pose broader economic and legal questions, as rising logistics and freight costs force local businesses to lower prices, while Russia denies targeting civilians and warns ships to Ukrainian ports may carry military cargo.
