Ukraine says Russian cruise and missile strikes killed six people aboard a grain-carrying cargo ship owned by Turkish interests. In a statement on Sunday, Ukraine’s navy said Russia launched three cruise missiles at the Golden Leo as it was “leaving the combat zone” while carrying grain. The vessel is described as flying the flag of Guinea-Bissau. Ukraine’s foreign minister, Andriy Sybiga, said the crew included citizens of Syria and India. Ukrainian Prime Minister Sergiy Koretsky said the ship was hit near Odesa after it had left port. Ukraine’s authorities said eight crew members are rescued. The incident is reported hours after Russia fired a new barrage of missiles at Kyiv, according to the same accounts. The reports attribute responsibility to Russia and do not include a separate comment from Moscow or the ship’s operators. The ship’s name, location near Odesa, and the number of fatalities and rescued crew members are consistent across the two sources.
