Russia strikes the same ship near Odessa for the third time

Russian forces have attacked a Liberian-flagged civilian ship anchored in the approaches to the port of Odessa for the third time. This time, the ship was empty of cargo and crew.

This was reported by the Ukrainian Sea Ports Administration.

According to the USPA, after the attack on the vessel, smoke appeared in the area of the bridge. According to preliminary information, no one was injured as a result of the attack.

The Sea Ports Authority emphasized that this is the third strike on this same civilian vessel.

“Successive strikes on the same civilian vessel once again demonstrate the nature of Russian attacks: not only port infrastructure or cargo are under the sights, but directly the civilian merchant fleet,” the USPA noted.

We will remind, earlier the Russian occupiers carried out a drone strike on the port infrastructure of the Mykolaiv region , as a result of which two civilian vessels were damaged.
