Russian strike on Odessa kills two Azerbaijani tugboat crew, injures eight

A Russian attack in the Odessa area struck a commercial Azerbaijani tugboat, killing two crew members and injuring eight others. The incident continues the pattern of Russian strikes on civilian shipping in the Black Sea, but the death toll marks a notable escalation in direct casualties to foreign commercial crews. The attack underscores ongoing risks to maritime traffic in the region despite any ceasefire discussions.
