BLACK SEA ATTACK: Reported Ukrainian Drones STRIKE Turkish Vessel Nadezhda Near Russia's Port!

A Turkish Ro-Ro cargo vessel, the Nadezhda, was struck by multiple drones approximately 20 nautical miles off Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiysk on Monday, according to Turkey's General Directorate of Maritime Affairs, with all 12 crew members evacuated and three sailors reported in critical condition. The vessel's captain, Yalcin Sahin, said the attack occurred at approximately 4:30 p.m. local time as the ship was approaching Novorossiysk, and that crew members sustained injuries including shrapnel wounds in what he described as a multi-drone strike. Footage distributed by Turkey's Ihlas News Agency shows the vessel engulfed in flames with thick smoke billowing, alongside scenes of injured sailors receiving medical assistance on board, though the exact location of the footage could not be independently verified. The attack comes amid continuing Ukrainian drone operations targeting shipping and logistical infrastructure along Russia's Black Sea coast, with Novorossiysk, one of Russia's largest ports, having been repeatedly targeted by aerial and maritime drone strikes since the conflict began. Ukraine has not claimed responsibility.
