- The Turkish foreign ministry said Ankara reiterates a warning to all parties
ANKARA: Turkiye conveys concerns over a recent escalation in the Black Sea to all relevant parties at every level, the foreign ministry said on Friday, after a Turkish-owned cargo vessel was hit by drones on Thursday night.
Ukraine said on Thursday that Russian drones attacked three foreign-flagged merchant vessels, one of them on the Turkish-owned, Vanuatu-flagged, cargo vessel, as they sailed along Ukraine’s maritime export corridor in the Black Sea.
In a statement, the Turkish foreign ministry said Ankara reiterates a warning to all parties to refrain from taking steps that could lead to an uncontrolled escalation of war, without mentioning who carried out the attack to the Turkish-owned vessel.
