Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that a Russian missile struck a cargo ship in the Black Sea carrying wheat to Egypt, with the attack taking place in Romanian waters. There were no casualties, and the extent of damage is unspecified. This would mark the first direct attack on a civilian vessel since Ukraine established a new maritime export route. The ship was hit by a Russian military jet in Romania's exclusive economic zone, not Ukraine's grain corridor. The Black Sea has been a vital theater in the conflict, with both sides refraining from attacking civilian vessels until now. This attack jeopardizes Ukraine's critical food deliveries to African and Middle Eastern countries.
