Zelensky Condemns Russian Strike on Turkish Vessel in Black Sea

According to Zelensky, Russia launched two drones at a Turkish vessel in the Black Sea, a region considered neutral by international law. The attack resulted in the death of the ship's captain and the rescue of 11 crew members. Zelensky accused Russia of targeting a civilian vessel, which he described as a 'horrific' act of aggression. The Turkish vessel was carrying corn, as reported by the BBC. The attack occurred in neutral waters, a location where no nation is supposed to have military presence. Zelensky's statements were echoed by the BBC, which cited Ukrainian officials confirming the casualties and the nature of the attack. There are no reported divergences in the accounts from the sources, which include Ukrainian and British outlets. All sources concur on the basic facts of the attack, the casualties, and the condemnation by Zelensky.
