Open-sources have reported Russian Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) strikes overnight on the 28 May 2026 and following morning, hit three foreign commercial vessels navigating Ukraine's Black Sea maritime corridor (exact time and position not specified). The vessels were sailing under the flags of Vanuatu, the Comoros Islands, and Panama. Fires broke out aboard all three vessels but were extinguished by their crews. Two crew members aboard the Vanuatu-flagged vessel sustained injuries. The two injured crew members were evacuated by Ukrainian Navy vessels and transported to a medical facility. The vessel was subsequently towed to port for repairs. Ukraine's Naval Forces confirmed that the Vanuatu-flagged vessel was bound for Turkey from the Odessa region when it was struck. Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration of Ukraine, Oleksii Kuleba, confirmed via Telegram that despite the attacks, the maritime corridor remained operational.
