Marine Executive: Video: Two Turkish Cargo Ships Hit by Possible Missile in Ukraine 

Two Turkish-owned cargo ships have reportedly come under attack at the port of Kherson, marking the first time in many months that commercial ships have been damaged during the fighting in Ukraine. 

Turkish TV is airing an undated video showing the bridge and accommodation block of one of the vessels on fire while the second ship was reported to have been hit possibly by shrapnel. 

 Both of the vessels registered in Vanuatu and operated by Turkish shipping companies have been trapped in Kherson for nearly a year since the fighting began in Ukraine. They are part of as many as a dozen Turkish ships that were not covered by the UN agreement and have remained caught in Ukrainian ports including Kherson and Mykolaiv while the crews were mostly evacuated.

WNU Editor: There are a number of ships that have been stuck in the port of Kherson since the start of the war, including these two Turkish cargo ships. And many of them were hit hit by missiles in the first few months of the war. But it looks the fighting is intensifying, and these ships are now in the middle of it.
