Russian strikes hit civilian ships off Ukraine’s Black Sea coast

Russia attacked civilian ships near Ukraine’s Black Sea coast, striking the Chinese-owned KSL Deyang (Marshall Islands-flagged) as it neared Odesa ports; the crew extinguished a fire and there were no casualties. Separately, a Panama-flagged vessel heading to Chornomorsk was damaged but also reported no injuries. The strikes, targeting ships under multiple flags, illustrate Moscow’s ongoing effort to disrupt Ukraine’s port infrastructure and wartime trade.

Three people were killed in the first fatal Houthi attack in the Red Sea when the Barbados-flagged, Liberian-owned bulk carrier True Confidence was struck by an anti-ship ballistic missile, leading to fatalities and significant damage. The Philippines Department of Migrant Workers confirmed the deaths of two Filipino seafarers and severe injuries to two others. The Houthi spokesperson claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that the vessel had rejected warning messages. This incident follows a series of Houthi offensives targeting vessels in the Red Sea, with the group claiming solidarity with Palestinian civilians and targeting ships connected to Israel, the U.S., and the U.K.

"Israel-Linked Tanker Seized by Attackers off Yemen Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict"

An Israeli-linked oil tanker, the Central Park, has been seized off the coast of Aden, Yemen, in a suspected piracy incident. The Liberian-flagged vessel, managed by Zodiac Maritime, was attacked by unidentified armed individuals. The ship's multinational crew of 22 is reportedly safe. The seizure comes amid a series of maritime attacks linked to the Israel-Hamas conflict, although no group has claimed responsibility for this incident. The area where the seizure occurred is under the control of forces allied to Yemen's internationally recognized government and a Saudi-led coalition. U.S. naval forces are monitoring the situation, and nearby vessels have been advised to stay clear of the area.
