At least one person was killed after a Russian missile hit a civilian ship entering the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Odessa, Ukrainian officials said.
According to the defense force, the Liberian-flagged vessel was hit by an anti-radar missile.
A 43-year-old port worker died. Three Filipino crew members and a port worker were injured.
So far, there is no information about Bulgarians among the crew.
There is still no comment from Russia on the incident.
The Odesa regional prosecutor’s office said the attack was carried out at 4:45 p.m. on Wednesday. The ship was reportedly docked at the time of the strike.
Ukraine’s infrastructure minister Oleksandr Kubrakov said the ship was supposed to be carrying iron ore to China.
Ships entering and leaving the port of Odessa have been at risk of Russian attack since Moscow pulled out of the grain deal months ago.
