Ukrainian drone strikes target Turkish-owned commercial vessels in Black Sea

Ukrainian kamikaze drones struck the Vanuatu-flagged SVS Justice and the Liberian-flagged Star II in the Black Sea, following a similar attack on the Lider Bordo Mavi on August 26. All three vessels are owned by Turkish companies, marking a notable escalation in targeting of commercial shipping in the region. It remains unclear if these strikes were intentional targeting of Turkish assets or collateral damage from operations against Russian-linked logistics.
