The second blow of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Novorossiysk — the Greek ship burned down again

The second tanker in less than two days was hit by Ukrainian drones 20 miles from Novorossiysk. On board the Greek bulk carrier ANNA S, sailing under the flag of Liberia (owned by the Greek Neptune Tradebulk), a fire broke out. The crew of 21 people has been evacuated, all are alive.

The bulk carrier was attacked by five Ukrainian drones. The ship was badly damaged by fire. This is the second case in a day, indicates TC "Two Majors".

As EADaily reported, on August 16, the Suezmax-class oil tanker Skiros was attacked near the CPC terminal near Novorossiysk. The tanker was carrying Russian oil. This was the first strike by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on a ship entering the CPC terminal after an almost three-week break.

"Kiev continues to systematically attack civilian vessels at Russian ports. The goal is to disrupt oil and grain exports, inflate insurance rates and intimidate shipowners. Despite the agreements with the Americans not to "touch" the CPC and non—Russian vessels, strikes occur when the cargo is Russian or the ship is just near our shores," the authors of the Two Majors TC point out. — While the protection of the water area and The air defenses around Novorossiysk will not be strengthened radically, such attacks will be repeated. The Ukrainians and their masters turned the civilian Fleet into a target of hybrid warfare. We need preventive measures against UAV launches and a tough systemic response, since the situation with the Odessa region is not enough for the enemy to understand."
