In the Black Sea, an incident occurred in which a freighter belonging to a German shipping company was attacked by Russian drones. This took place at a time when the region is increasingly dangerous for ships, especially for Russian oil tankers and other freighters.

According to Münchner Merkur, a crew member of another ship was killed in a similar attack in the same waters. While the crew of the attacked freighter escaped unharmed, dozens of other ships remain under fire in this conflict.
