A Russian missile strike on a grain vessel in the Black Sea port of Odesa killed four people and damaged key infrastructure, underscoring the ongoing threats to Ukraine's vital export routes amid the ongoing war.
A Russian missile strike on Tuesday hit a grain vessel in the Black Sea port of Odesa, resulting in the deaths of four people, Ukrainian authorities confirmed.
The ballistic missile targeted the MJ Pinar, a bulk carrier that was in the process of loading wheat for Algeria. Four Syrian nationals aboard the ship were killed, and one other Syrian crew member, along with a Ukrainian, was injured. Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister, Oleksiy Kuleba, shared the news on Telegram.
"This attack is part of Russia's broader assault on Ukraine's infrastructure, including ports that play a crucial role in global food security," Kuleba said.
The grain trading giant Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) later confirmed in a statement that the vessel had been loading at its Brooklyn-Kiev terminal at Odesa port, where terminal infrastructure was also damaged. Fortunately, LDC’s employees at the terminal were unharmed, but the fatalities were among the crew of the chartered vessel.
Kuleba also reported that another vessel sustained damage, though he provided no further specifics.
