Russia targets civilian ships in the Black Sea, raising maritime security concerns

Russia has been attacking civilian cargo ships in the Black Sea, killing at least one crew member and damaging vessels. The attacks have led to a sharp increase in war risk insurance for ships in the area, and Greece has warned its shipping fleet of the heightened danger.

In response to the escalating threat, the Turkish navy has begun a new security mission in the Black Sea. Meanwhile, Ukrainian partisans report that Russia is trying to hide its Black Sea fleet's logistics in the port of Novorossiysk.
