| Open-source have reported that a Palau-flagged cargo ship was struck twice by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles whilst underway in Ukrainian waters (exact time and position not specified). The attacks caused damage to the upper deck and superstructure, resulting in a fire affecting the bridge and accommodation block. Two Indian crew members initially reported missing were rescued with minor injuries after jumping into the water to escape the fire onboard. The crew and pilot were evacuated to shore by the Ukrainian Navy. The Romanian Coast Guard attended the scene for firefighting and cooling operations. The vessel remained at Sulina anchorage following the incident. | |||||
