Mine or drone attack suspected in Black Sea ship explosion

The explosion on the Greek-owned cargo ship in the Black Sea on Wednesday while en route to the Ismail port on the Danube in Ukraine was either from a mine or a drone attack, Kathimerini understands.  

The dry cargo vessel Vyssos, under the Panamanian flag and owned by Nava Shipping Ltd, departed from Sicily en route to Ukraine's Ismail port on the Danube to load grain on Wednesday.

Alert, the attack is underway

Kyiv announced that Russian forces attacked the Odesa region yesterday with "Shahid" drones and "Onyx" and "Caliber" rockets, and that the port infrastructure was damaged.
On the other hand, Moscow states that Russian forces shot down seven drones over the Belgorod region, and that households and administrative buildings were damaged in an attack by Ukrainian drones on Kursk.
