Iran Accuses Ukraine of Lethal Attack on Commercial Vessel in Caspian Sea
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Ukraine's charge d'affaires in Tehran to protest what it described as a 'hostile and criminal' drone attack on an Iranian commercial vessel in the Caspian Sea. The strike allegedly killed one sailor and injured another. Iran characterized the incident as a violation of the UN Charter and warned it would defend its national interests. This maritime escalation follows ongoing regional tensions and Iranian accusations of Ukrainian interference in the Caspian region.
