Drone hits Türkiye-bound ship in Black Sea

A Turkish vessel headed for Russia has reportedly been targeted in a drone strike, feared to have been launched by Ukraine.

The Cameroon-flagged vessel Nadezhda, reportedly owned by Samsun-based Kalyoncu Shipping, was carrying fresh fruits and vegetables from Samsun, Türkiye, to Novorossiysk, Russia, when it came under attack at about 16:30 Turkish time (1330 GMT).
