Russian drone hit Chinese cargo ship overnight in Black Sea: Ukraine

A Russian drone hit a Chinese cargo ship in the Black Sea overnight, Ukraine said Monday, a day before Russian President Vladimir Putin heads to Beijing to meet Xi Jinping.

"Drones struck Odesa ... and one of the UAVs hit a vessel owned by China. The Russians could not have been unaware of what vessel was at sea," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a post on social media.

A spokesman for Ukraine's navy told AFP that none of the crew -- all Chinese citizens -- were wounded and the vessel continued on its journey.
