Russian Strike on Cargo Ship in Black Sea Kills 5, Kyiv Says
Ukraine said the strike ignited a fire aboard the grain ship and left eight crew members rescued as attacks on Black Sea shipping intensify.

- Hours before the ship strike, Moscow launched more than 40 missiles overnight in what President Volodymyr Zelensky called 'one of its largest ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv,' killing one person and wounding 16 in the capital.
- Kyiv's transport minister Mykola Kalashnyk confirmed six sailors died and four remain missing from the ship attack, with crew members from Syria and India among those lost. Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga stated, 'Moscow continues its campaign of terror throughout the day.'
- Local officials reported seven additional deaths from Russian strikes on Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipropetrovsk. Russia denied targeting civilians, claiming it struck military facilities and logistics hubs in Kyiv and Odesa port infrastructure.
- Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan previously visited Kyiv to promote mediation, expressing Ankara's concern about the war spreading into the Black Sea. Ukraine, now in its fifth year of conflict, faces intensifying Russian missile attacks.
