Russian strike kills sailor on Liberian-flagged freighter
Russian forces struck a civilian cargo vessel flying the Liberian flag in an Odesa region port on Oct. 3, killing one motorman and wounding three others, the Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority reported. Thirteen crew members were evacuated and emergency teams secured the vessel. The incident follows a string of strikes on foreign-flagged commercial ships that have killed seafarers and prompted diplomatic protests. Moscow says it is disrupting maritime transit after the collapse of the UN-brokered Black Sea Grain Initiative and alleges some merchant ships carry weapons, a claim rejected by Ukrainian authorities and international maritime bodies.
