At least one person was killed and several were injured after a Russian missile hit a civilian ship flying the flag of Liberia on the approach to one of the Black Sea ports in Odesa region.

That’s according to Operational Command South, Ukrinform reports.

It is believed the invaders used a Kh-31P anti-radar missile.

The missile hit the ship’s superstructure at the moment of its entry into the port.

Three crew members - citizens of the Philippines - were injured, one of them is hospitalized.

The port pilot was killed and another port worker suffered injuries, according to the report.

“Russia once again confirmed its status of a terrorist country of international scale,” the Command concluded.

I believe they already fired on this ship before and the missiles were intercepted.

Thanks to declassified intelligence, we know the Russian military targeted a Liberian flagged civilian cargo ship in the Black Sea with multiple missiles on the 24th of August," Rishi Sunak said in an update to parliament on the G20 summit he attended in New Delhi.

But why?
