Ukraine's air defenses thwarted Russia from striking a civilian cargo ship at a port in the Black Sea last month, the U.K. government said on Monday, citing new intelligence.
A Liberian-flagged cargo ship that was berthed at a port in Ukraine's Odesa region was targeted by Russia's military with"multiple missiles" on August 24, the U.K.'s Foreign Office said in a statement. The missiles, which included two Kalibr cruise missiles fired from a Black Sea Fleet missile carrier, were"successfully shot down" by Ukraine's defenses, it said.
Weeks before the alleged attack, Russia had warned that ships traveling in the Black Sea to Ukraine's ports may be considered military targets. That warning coincided with Russia pulling out of the historic Black Sea Grain Initiative, which allowed the safe exports of Ukraine's grain and agricultural products to global markets.
