The Cameroonian-flagged container ship Aurelia was attacked by a drone while transiting the Black Sea after departing from the port of Novorossiysk.
As reported, the vessel was targeted approximately 80–90 miles offshore. Following the incident, the ship altered course and proceeded toward a safe port.
Fortunately, all 16 crew members, including seven Turkish nationals, were rescued with no casualties or injuries reported. However, several containers were damaged during the attack. While the vessel’s structural integrity was not seriously affected, the containers sustained material damage.
