A Russian missile struck a Turkish-owned vessel at the Ukrainian port of Odesa on Friday. The attack damaged the ferry but caused no casualties. The vessel, carrying fresh fruits and vegetables on the Karasu-Odesa route, was attacked shortly after docking at the Chornomorsk port. Ukrainian Restoration Minister Oleksiy Kuleba tweeted, "Russia launched a missile strike on civilian port infrastructure in the Odesa region." The Turkish maritime company Cenk Shipping confirmed their 185-metre ferry, flying the Panama flag, was hit around 16:00 local time. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also stated, "a civilian vessel in the port of Chornomorsk was damaged," adding that Russia is targeting normal life in Ukraine. Earlier on the day of the strike, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan discussed the issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling for a "limited ceasefire" on attacks against ports and energy sites. After the attack, Turkey's foreign ministry said, "We once again emphasise the importance of urgently ending the war between Russia and Ukraine, and we reiterate the need for an arrangement to prevent escalation in the Black Sea, including ensuring maritime safety and suspending attacks targeting energy and port infrastructure." The strike comes amid increasing Turkish worries about the Black Sea following claims of Ukrainian naval drone attacks on Russian-linked tankers.
