Azburg.

This is coolbert:

Merchant vessel Mariupol sunk by Russian missile and naval gunfire?

First hit by two missiles and then shelled additionally. All the while empty of cargo and docked!

Hardly accidental! Gratuitous violence inexplicable?

From Reuters as seen at yahoo.com story by Jonathan Saul April 5, 2022.

"Foreign ship sinks in Mariupol after missile attacks, says flag registry"

"LONDON (Reuters) -A Dominica-flagged cargo ship sank on Tuesday in the besieged southern Ukrainian port city of Mariupol after being targeted by Russian missile strikes, the vessel's flag registry said."

"The Azburg was believed to have been without cargo and at berth in Mariupol when it was initially hit by two missiles on April 3, the Dominica Maritime Administration said.

"'On April 4, around 2240 LT (local time) the vessel was heavily fired upon by Russian armed forces after intentionally shelling the vessel twice a day earlier,'" 

This is the brutal Russian story. Callous and cruel, trigger-happy, heedless of human life!

SEIZURE OF CITIES/PORT FACILITIES THE COASTLINE OF THE BLACK SEA/SEA OF AZOV VITAL TO RUSSIAN GOALS THE UKRAINE CONFLICT?

Exports of grain the various Black Sea/Sea of Azov port facilities for some time into the future going to be dicey at best? Incidents such as this hardly making things better!

"dicey: adjective - - RISKY, UNPREDICTABLE"
