Japanese Cargo Ship Reportedly Hit by a Russian Missile Off the Coast of Ukraine
A cargo ship owned by a Japanese firm has been reportedly hit by a missile off the coast of Ukraine in the Black Sea on Friday, injuring one crew member.
According to Japan Times, the cargo ship Namura Queen was damaged and one of the 20 Filipino crew sustained a nonlife threatening injury.
The ship can operate under its own steam and has headed to Turkey, where the damage to the vessel will be assessed, the report said. Ukraine authorities said the missile was fired by Russian forces, following their military invasion of Ukraine earlier this week.
Also a Moldovan-flagged chemical tanker was hit as reported by Reuters.
Ukraine’s infrastructure ministry said that the Moldovan-flagged vessel, the Millennial Spirit, was carrying 600 tonnes of diesel at the time of the attack from a Russian military ship.
Earlier on Friday Moldova’s naval agency said the crew of the Millennial Spirit was Russian and that two of them had been seriously injured.
“We just heard 10 minutes ago that all the crew were saved but two were seriously injured and are on the way to hospital,” Pavalachi said.
A total of three nonmilitary vessels have now been hit since the start of the invasion.

True patriotism!
Russian President Vladimir Putin has launched a military operation in Ukraine, with explosions heard across the country. Weeks of intense diplomacy and the imposition of Western sanctions on Russia failed to deter Putin, who had massed between over 150,000 troops along the borders of Ukraine.
Putin said he had authorised military action to defend itself against what he said were threats emanating from Ukraine.
Ukrainian military has said that they’ve shot down six Russian jets and helicopters in the eastern region, as Russian troops moved into the neighbouring country’s territories. Aircraft and an aggressor helicopter were shot down near the area of the Joint Forces.
The command also said that Ukraine’s military units are keeping their positions as “the enemy suffers losses.”
Ukranian Defense Minister has asked anyone who is ready and able to hold a weapon can join the Territorial Defense Force.

The Oxford High School students killed were Tate Myre, 16; Hana St. Juliana, 14, and Madisyn Baldwin, 17, according to Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard.
Three are in critical condition with gunshot wounds, including a 14-year-old girl who is on a ventilator after having surgery. A 14-year-old boy is in serious condition with a gunshot wound to the jaw and head, Bouchard said. Three students are in stable condition and the teacher who was shot has been discharged according to CNN.
Bouchard said the weapon used in the shooting was a 9mm Sig Sauer pistol that was purchased by the boy’s father on Nov. 26.
Model of gun used
Investigators believed the shooter fired off at least 12 shots and had taken three 15-round magazines with him to school, concealing the weapon and ammunition in a bag that was later found by canine units.
A search warrant was executed at the teen’s home and authorities retrieved several items, including the boy’s phone, Bouchard said.
