A Panamanian-flagged bulk carrier loaded with grain is hit by a Russian naval mine in the Black Sea. The civilian vessel was heading to one of the Danube ports.
This was reported by the Southern Defense Forces.
After the explosion, the vessel lost its momentum and control, and a fire broke out on the top deck. The captain fixed it in the shallows to prevent it from sinking.
