A Panamanian-flagged vessel was struck by a drone in the Black Sea early Saturday, killing one crew member and wounding two others, according to Panama's maritime authority. The statement, cited by Israeli media, did not specify the attacker's identity, the vessel's cargo, or its exact location at the time of the strike. The attack follows a pattern of naval incidents in the Black Sea, where both Russia and Ukraine have targeted commercial shipping. The Zioneer previously reported on Ukraine's claim of striking a Russian 'shadow fleet' tanker in the same waters on June 10. The affiliation of the vessel and the circumstances behind the attack remain unconfirmed.
