Reuters) – A Russian missile strike has damaged infrastructure and an Antigua-flagged civilian vessel in the Ukrainian port of Odesa, the regional governor said on Friday.
Four people were wounded in the airstrike, Governor Oleh Kiper said on the Telegram messaging app.
“Debris from, according to preliminary assessment, an Iskander-M missile, damaged port and civilian infrastructure, as well as a civilian ship flying the flag of Antigua,” Kiper said.
The Iskander-M is a ballistic missile which flies at several times the speed of sound and has a stated range of up to 500 km (310 miles).
A market source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters the vessel was carrying metal products.
Ship-tracking website Marinetraffic showed there was an Antigua-flagged cargo vessel named Golden Lion moored in the Port of Odesa.
Russia has struck the port repeatedly in the war since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Ukraine accused Moscow of hitting a civilian grain vesseltravelling from Odesa to Egypt near Romanian waters with a cruise missile last week.

Many sensible Antiguans like myself begged and hollered at Prime Browne not to get involved with the Alpha Nero fiasco, because as sure as night follows day, when you poke or provoke the Russian bear, somewhere down the line they would retaliate or take some sort of retribution action.
I’M SO DISAPPOINTED WITH THE PM.
And yet, Browne and his ABLP supporters are more FIXATED at present with the so-called trails and tribulations of the UPP … go figure folks!
We are now reaping what we sowed at the last General Election by re-electing the now out of control Browne.
LOOMING RUSSIAN CONSEQUENCES: …ANTIGUAN-REGISTERED SHIP-GOLDEN LION:
…A MERE COINCIDENCE…?
LOOMING RUSSIAN CONSEQUENCES
The nation shall shave known of ‘…LOOMING RUSSIAN CONSEQUENCES,’ and endeavor to avoid them.
SCAPEGOATING PORT MANAGER
Given this development, one, including the apparent ‘…SCAPEGOATING:’
(i) ‘…Antiguan Port Manager:
(ii) …Parliamentarians: and
(iii) …Officialdom,’ might now reasonably ask:
QUESTION
‘…Was the ‘…Russian Attack’ on the ‘…Seaport’ where the supposedly ‘…ANTIGUA-REGISTERED SHIP-GOLDEN LION,’ was reportedly ‘…BERTHED’ a ‘…MERE COINCIDENCE?’
LEGISLATIVE SEIZURE AND SALE- ‘…ALFA NERO’
Logic dictates that the apparent ill-advised ‘…SEIZURE AND SALE’ of the ‘…RUSSIAN OLIGARCHY-OWNED,’ and ‘…REGISTERED LUXURY MEGA YACHT-ALFA NERO,’ will spell trouble for:
(i) ‘…All Antiguan Flag-Flying Ships across the globe: and more particularly
(ii) …The ‘…NATIONAL SHIP-REGISTRY INDUSTRY.’
CAUSE FOR SERIOUS CONCERN
This development may now be ‘…Cause for Serious Concern’ by ‘…AMBASSADOR DWIGHT GARDNER.’
With hindsight, maybe I should have gone into politics rather than an up and coming businessman, Antigua & Barbuda would definitely have been better for it …
Could it be a psyop?

There’s no doubt, that Crime Solving has a #Hell_Of_A_Lot, to do with gut feelings; that is, the HUEman connection to the ESSENCE of Nature’s Ether. It’s the same vibes(scent) followed by the #blood_🐕_hound.
The GOAB should also be concerned with #CYBER_ATTACKS, since, wars are no longer fought on just the high seas.

Do not mess with Putin, he will get to you one way or the other, do you remember Wagner from the Wagner group? That is how a KGB work.
And I’ll tell you something else @ Geopolitical, Browne won’t respond to what recently taken place either; and why is it that when there’s a more serious issue at home, Browne dances abroad?
The UK’S 🇬🇧 former Prime Minister Boris Johnson did the same thing when crisis lick his country.
I HOPE GASTON DON’T HIDE HE SELF AWAY IN A FRIDGE LIKE JOHNSON DID WHEN CONFRONTED BY INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISTS 😁
@ Brixtonia
Russia has been attacking that port ever since, many boats of different nationallity have gotten hit.
Stop acting like this is your first gi around.
@Rawlston Pompey… NO ONE listens to you anymore so you just bark at the moon like a Chihuahua.
Write a response like a human being instead of your bizarro world AI rubbish. You are not as smart as you repeatedly tell yourself. My education urinates all over yours my old, grumpy, irrelevant lawman. Again, take your medication and then take a nap. You can make me laugh again in a few days.
I wonder if the government have reported to the prople how much they have collected yearly for merchant shipping?
It’s unfortunate that an Antigua-flagged vessel got caught up in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Let’s hope for the safety of the crew and a peaceful resolution.
Outa Sight/Outa mind, eh! I’ve long advised Our Alpha Negro World Boss: to scuttle Alpha Nero down at Cades Reef where year-round revenues would be there to be had like barnacles from “that” sunken beast. But, as fortune dictates; anything in Antigua & Barbuda that is good was and is too good for Antiguans & Barbudans: let the partisan ship sail without even giving us the scrooge burdened tax payer’s a simple |$20:00 ten minutes guided tour of our Ill gotten treasury drain. While Mr. Alpha Negro is practicing his assent to be The Zar Of His Illusionary Oligarchy. There is shit, and then the deep shit when greed and avarice prevails.
VOICE OF REASON: …NO ONE LISTENS! …DARM FOOL OR BLOCK-HEADED MULE
Well, you have established that you are either:
(i) ‘…A DAMN FOOL: or
(ii) …A BLOCK-HEADED MULE.’
The commenter, ‘…RAWLSTON POMPEY’ is really not ‘…SPEAKING.’
He is actually ‘…WRITING.’
