  "account": "The Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the Rosatom-owned container ship Yanina with sea drones in the Black Sea, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Telegram. The 100,000-ton vessel, carrying civilian goods, sank after being attacked by two sea drones approximately 130 miles from Novorossiysk, Russia. Ukrainian SBU Security Service units carried out strikes on three Russian oil refineries in Bashkortostan, located nearly 1,000 miles away. Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for the Ukrainian warriors who were bringing the war back to Russia and targeting facilities that sustain the war. Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev stated that all 17 crew members were rescued and denounced the attack as piracy and maritime banditry. Russia has repeatedly targeted foreign civilian vessels in the Black Sea to disrupt Ukraine's maritime corridor. Ukraine has struck over 30 vessels since launching its full-scale invasion, including more than 30 during summer 2026, according to a Ukrainian delegation to the OSCE Forum for Security Co-operation.",
