Russia has announced it struck cargo ships near the port of Odesa, saying they were carrying military equipment, according to a report cited by ynet. The claim, made this morning, provides no details on the number of vessels, the extent of damage, or any casualties. The Russian Defense Ministry has not issued an official statement beyond the reported announcement.
This is the latest in a series of Russian attacks on shipping in the Black Sea region. As The Zioneer reported on August 3, Russia struck three ships carrying military equipment in the Black Sea, according to Reuters. Earlier reports, including one on July 31, described a Russian claim of striking a military cargo ship near Odesa. The current report appears to be a new, separate incident, but corroboration is pending.
