The owner of the ship claimed it was an act of terrorism, a sentiment echoed by Russian officials, who attributed the sinking to a targeted attack. The incident has left two crew members missing and is the latest development in a series of accidents involving Russian vessels amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions. This incident comes amid broader concerns over the safety and condition of Russia’s maritime operations, as well as the implications for its military logistics in the region.
