BNN Network tweeted this picture of the bridge of the Tuzla in flames.
Video posted on social media reveals flames racing by means of the superstructure of a 3,943 dwt, 1980-built common cargo ship, the Tuzla, yesterday, after a Russian assault on the Ukrainian port of Kherson. The Vanuatu-flagged ship is owned by Istanbul-based Cayeli Shipping Ltd and, in keeping with Turkey’s Veryanssin TV, is one among two Turkish-owned service provider ships hit within the Russian assault.
The 1995-built 4,750 dwt Ferahnaz , which can be Vanuatu-flagged, was broken by shrapnel in the identical assault, Veryannsin reviews Hüseyin Cebi, an official with vessel’s supervisor, Istanbul-based Cakiroglu Deniz Tasima Ltd, as saying.
That ship was reportedly much less severely broken than the Tuzla.
Kherson isn’t one of many ports coated by the Black Sea Grain Initiative and reviews differ on whether or not the ships have been struck by a bomb, a missile or artillery shelling.
According to regional officers, the Russian military shelled Kherson 12 occasions yesterday, hitting the maternity hospital, faculty, polyclinic, seaport and residential buildings.
