The Russian Federation attacked civilian vessels in the ports of the Mykolaiv region: one person was killed and one was injured

On the night of July 27, Russian forces attacked civilian merchant ships in ports in the Mykolaiv region. The attack killed one person and injured several others.

This was reported by the Ministry of Community and Territorial Development of Ukraine.

It is noted that the shelling targeted civilian vessels that have remained blocked in Ukrainian ports since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022 and do not operate commercial flights.

The ministry emphasized that the attack was another targeted strike on civilian shipping and port infrastructure in Ukraine.

“Attacks on ships that have been unable to leave blocked ports for years once again demonstrate the systemic nature of Russian terror against the maritime industry and pose a direct threat to the lives of civilian seafarers,” the department noted.

In particular, Ukraine continues to document Russia’s war crimes and calls on the international maritime community to respond decisively to attacks against civilian merchant shipping.

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.
