On October 9, the Russian military launched another missile attack on the port infrastructure of Great Odesa. Oleg Kiper, the head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration, announced this. “The port infrastructure has again become the target of the Russians. The Russians hit a civilian container ship flying the flag of Panama. As a result of the Russian attack, unfortunately, six people died, eight were injured, four of them are in serious condition. All victims are citizens of Ukraine. Currently, they are provided with all the necessary assistance,” he wrote.
Later it became known that the number of people injured in the attack increased to 11, seven of whom are in serious condition. It was also clarified that the affected ship is the container ship Shui Spirit, which arrived at the port of Chornomorsk from the Romanian port of Constanta on October 9. “This is the third attack on a civilian ship in the last four days.
Insidious Russians are trying to disrupt the work of the Ukrainian “grain corridor” by killing civilians and destroying infrastructure. Law enforcement agencies are documenting yet another crime committed by the Russians,” Oleg Kiper added.
