According to the report, Ukraine on Saturday accused Russia of striking a Turkish vessel transporting sunflower oil in the Black Sea, a day after a Russian attack triggered a fire on a Turkish-owned ship at a Ukrainian port.
The report stated that Russia delivered a targeted strike using a drone against the Turkish vessel ‘VIVA,’ which was en route to Egypt carrying sunflower oil, Ukraine’s navy said on social media, adding that none of the 11 crew were wounded and the ship was able to continue its journey. The Navy published a video showing a damaged vessel, with water on the deck and what appeared to be a drone engine.
The report also said that the ship was in Ukraine’s exclusive economic zone, using a grain corridor that hugs Ukraine’s coastline and is supposed to provide safe passage for vital agricultural shipments through the Black Sea.
In addition to the report, the strike is the second on a Turkish ship in as many days and comes after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for a halt to attacks on ports and energy facilities during face-to-face talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Friday.
