A "terrorist act" sank the cargo ship that went down in international waters in the Mediterranean, the Russian state-owned company that owns the vessel said Wednesday.
The Oboronlogistika company, which belongs to the Russian defence ministry, said it "thinks a targeted terrorist attack was committed on December 23, 2024, against the Ursa Major," it said in a statement cited by Russian news agencies, without indicating who may have been behind the act or why.
