Russian Missiles Strike Turkish-Owned Grain Ship Off Odesa

Three Russian cruise missiles hit the GOLDEN LEO as it left Odesa on July 19, 2026, killing at least 10. The Guinea-Bissau-flagged, Turkish-owned vessel carried corn with Indian and Syrian crew; eight were rescued. Russia claimed it targeted port fuel reservoirs. The attack casts doubt on whether third-country commercial ships can safely use Black Sea grain corridors.
