ANKARA (AA) – A Turkish-owned ship sailing in the Black Sea was hit by a bomb off the coast of Ukraine’s port city of Odessa, Turkish authorities said on Thursday.
According to Turkiye’s Directorate General of Maritime Affairs, there were no casualties in the incident, which came after Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine early on Thursday.
The Marshall Islands-flagged and Turkish-owned Yasa Jupiter did not send out any request for help and was safely heading toward Romanian territorial waters, it added.
