A Russian missile struck a civilian vessel carrying Ukrainian grain in the Black Sea overnight, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The incident occurred after the ship had left Ukrainian territorial waters and was near the mouth of the Danube River in Romanian waters. Zelenskyy confirmed that there were no casualties. The vessel was en route to Egypt, carrying a cargo of wheat. Ukraine's Foreign Minister condemned the strike as a 'brazen attack' on freedom of navigation and global food security. The Romanian Naval Authority stated that the vessel was not in Romanian territorial waters and that they had not been asked for assistance.
