“The quay of the port of Chornomorsk, where a civilian ship flying the flag of Malta was located, was attacked with a ballistic missile. Unfortunately, one crew member was injured. He is currently being provided with the necessary assistance,” Kuleba wrote on the Telegram channel.
He noted that the ship was preparing to transport container cargo. As a result of the impact, three containers were damaged and oil leaked. An oil barrier is being installed to localize the effects of the incident.
“This is another act of Russian terror against civilian port infrastructure, international trade and shipping safety. Russia consciously attacks facilities ensuring exports, logistics and food security. All relevant services are working on site. Ukraine continues to ensure the functioning of ports and implements its international obligations, despite constant attacks by the aggressor,” emphasized Deputy Prime Minister Kuleba.
