Moscow: Ukraine has sunk a Russian container ship

A Russian container ship owned by the atomic energy agency Rosatom was sunk in the Black Sea by Ukrainian drones near the Russian port of Novorossiysk. According to Rosatom, at least two Ukrainian drones struck the vessel 'Janina,' forcing its 17-member crew to abandon ship. The ship, operated by Fesco—a shipping subsidiary of Rosatom—was transporting civilian goods including frozen food and building materials. Rosatom head Alexei Likhachev described the attack as 'piracy and robbery at sea.' There were no initial indications that the ship had been involved in nuclear-related activities or carried nuclear material aboard. The Ukraine, which has repeatedly targeted Russian-flagged ships in the Black Sea, did not comment on the incident.
