Overnight on Saturday, Ukrainian drones sank the Russian cargo, or rather container, ship Yanina in the Black Sea, which was under the control of the state nuclear company Rosatom. The crew of 17 members had to abandon the vessel, the Russian state nuclear company reported. hnonline.sk ↗
Information about the attack was also confirmed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to whom Ukraine sent the ship to the bottom. The Russian side described the incident as piracy and robbery. According to available reports, this was another Ukrainian strike against Russian targets during the ongoing war.
The attack on the ship in the Black Sea fits into a broader series of Ukrainian operations against Russian infrastructure. During the same period, strikes against several Russian oil refineries were also reported. Ukraine is thus continuing to press logistical, energy, and industrial targets connected to Russia's war effort.
The sinking of a vessel belonging to Rosatom could increase tensions surrounding the safety of shipping in the Black Sea. Further developments will depend on Moscow's response and on whether Ukraine continues similar attacks on Russian maritime and industrial targets. Spiegel.de ↗
