Russia attacked a civilian ship in the Black Sea again

On the night of September 23, the Russians attacked a cargo ship flying the flag of Antigua and Barbuda in the Black Sea.

As a result of the attack, a fire broke out. The crew was evacuated by the Ukrainian Navy, and the fire was extinguished.

The captain of the ship was killed.

This is another terrorist act by the Russian Federation against civilian shipping. This time, the Russian attack took the life of a Ukrainian sailor.

We express our sincere condolences to the relatives and friends of the deceased captain.

The world must see and properly assess Russia's targeted terror against civilian shipping and people who ensure the operation of sea routes.
