"UK Intelligence Investigates Russian Strike on Civilian Ship in Odesa"

UK intelligence suggests that Russia may have struck a civilian ship in a Ukrainian port with a missile due to "poor weapons employment tactics." The missile, likely an AS-17 KRYPTON, may have locked onto the ship's radar while targeting Ukrainian military radars in the area. The attack resulted in the death of a harbor pilot and injuries to three crew members and a port worker. Russia has been targeting Ukraine's ports as part of its ongoing invasion, causing global food prices to rise.

Russian Missile Strike on Civilian Ship in Ukrainian Port Raises Tensions in Russia-Ukraine War

A Russian anti-radar missile, likely targeting Ukrainian military radars, hit a civilian cargo ship in Ukraine's Pivdennyi port, killing a harbor pilot and injuring several others. The British Ministry of Defense stated that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is straining its military resources, potentially requiring the reallocation of surface-to-air missile systems. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy discussed the conflict in the Middle East and Ukraine's maritime export corridors with the president of Indonesia. In eastern Ukraine, Russia intensified its assault on the town of Avdiika.

Ukraine alleges Russian missile strike on civilian ship near Odesa

A missile fired by Russia has struck a civilian ship entering the port of Odesa in the Black Sea region, killing a harbour pilot and injuring four crew members. The attack comes amid escalating military activity and attacks in the Black Sea since a UN-brokered deal guaranteeing safe passage for civilian ships fell through in July. Ukraine has announced a new "humanitarian corridor" for civilian ships, but Russia continues to target Ukraine's grain-exporting ports and infrastructure. In a show of support, the European Union's executive has recommended opening formal membership talks with Ukraine, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy remains optimistic about Ukraine's eventual success in the war despite slow progress on the front lines.
