A drone strike on a Panama-flagged vessel in the Black Sea resulted in one death and two injuries, prompting safety warnings from Panama's Maritime Authority.
One sailor was killed and two others were injured after a drone attack on a Panama-flagged vessel in the Black Sea, according to Panama's Maritime Authority, as reported by Reuters.
The authority stated that one of the injured crew members is in serious condition. Despite the attack, the ship was able to continue its voyage.
Officials indicated that they had activated protocols to gather official information and were maintaining communication with the parties involved.
The authority did not identify the source of the drone strike but advised ships to avoid Ukrainian and Russian waters in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
Panama operates the world's largest ship registry, with about 16 percent of the global merchant fleet sailing under its flag.
