Russian attack damages search-and-rescue tug in Odesa region

According to Ukrinform, the Ministry for Recovey, Infrastructure and Transport reported this on Facebook . “Russia has once again attacked civilian shipping. As a result of a Russian UAV attack, the Sapphire maritime search-and-rescue tug was damaged at one of the ports in the Odesa region. The vessel was clearly marked in accordance with the requirements of international maritime conventions. According to preliminary information, no one was injured,” the statement said. The ministry stressed that the attack was particularly cynical because it targeted a civilian SAR (Search and Rescue) vessel that performs exclusively civilian functions.
