The Turkish-flagged dry cargo ship "MV Reyhan Sari," which was attacked by a drone off Novorossiysk while transporting coal, arrives at Trabzon Port on July 23, 2026. (IHA Photo)

Türkiye's maritime community demanded a murder investigation, international prosecutions and deterrent action after a Turkish sailor was killed in a drone attack on the cargo ship MV Reyhan Sari as the vessel reached Trabzon with the crewman's body still aboard and a third drone-damaged ship anchored off the Turkish coast.
The Turkish Maritime Federation (TDF), in a joint declaration with its member associations, branded the systematic targeting of merchant ships and crew quarters "a crime against humanity" whose perpetrators must face international criminal law, declaring that "seafarers are not a party to the war."

'Crime against humanity'
"The war continuing in the Black Sea now directly targets not only the warring parties but civilian seafarers working aboard international merchant ships.
The loss of life and wounding of Turkish seafarers in recent targeted drone attacks on merchant vessels is the most painful example of this," the federation said, condemning "all attacks on innocent, laboring seafarers regardless of nationality."
The statement said the systematic, direct targeting of ships, including Turkish-flagged vessels, and of crew cabins "is of the nature of a crime against humanity, and we believe its perpetrators must be punished under international criminal law." It invoked the Geneva Conventions' Additional Protocol I, quoting Article 51's protection of civilians from attack and noting merchant ships are protected under Article 52.
The federation called on prosecutors to open an intentional-killing investigation into the death of the Turkish sailor and urged flag states of attacked vessels, noting Russia and Ukraine are parties to the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, to seek provisional measures and compensation before the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS).
Among its demands:
An immediate end to attacks on civilian merchant ships
Independent investigations of the drone strikes
Urgent IMO and ILO action including a working group and an international database for reporting attacks on civilian vessels in high-risk areas
New SOLAS/ISPS guidance on drone threats
Diplomatic initiatives for Turkish seafarers' safety
Strengthened international risk-reduction coordination in conflict zones.
"Seafarers are not a party to the war. They are the invisible heroes of global trade, delivering energy, food, raw materials and basic necessities to every port in the world," the statement said, noting some 90% of world trade moves by sea.
"The seas must remain a shared space of life where peace, safe navigation, international cooperation and human dignity are protected, not an arena into which war is carried," the statement noted.

Reyhan Sari reaches Trabzon

The Reyhan Sari, struck by two successive drones off Novorossiysk while carrying coal from Russia's Taman Port, reached Trabzon Port on Saturday morning under its own power.
The vessel took heavy hits to its funnel and crew accommodation quarters.
Specialist teams first swept the damaged sections for explosives before recovering the body of Savas Cakar, the 54-year-old engine room crewman killed in the attack, from beneath piles of iron wreckage, with AFAD and Trabzon fire crews assisting. His body was taken to the Forensic Medicine Institute for autopsy.
Footage from inside the ship showed extensive damage.
The two wounded crew members remain under treatment in Samsun hospitals.
The ship is expected to depart after discharging its coal cargo, said Ugur Sahinturk, owner of agent Poyraz Denizcilik, who spoke to Ihlas News Agency (IHA) and met the vessel at the port.

At least 10 Turkish-linked vessels hit since 2022

The Reyhan Sari is not alone.
The Panama-flagged LPG tanker Gas Nero, which caught fire on deck after a drone strike in the Black Sea, was directed to Trabzon under Samsun Port Authority coordination and anchored in a safe zone off Surmene for repairs.
A third drone-damaged LPG tanker also arrived, anchoring off Akcaabat's Sogutlu district with visible damage to its bow and bridge.
The attacks cap a pattern stretching back to the first days of Russia's full-scale invasion.
In February 2022, the Turkish bulk carrier Yasa Jupiter was struck by a Russian missile at the Port of Odesa, the first commercial vessel damaged in the war.
The Turkish vessels Tuzla and Ferahnaz were damaged in Russian shelling of Kherson in January 2023, and the cargo ship Kafkametler was damaged by a drifting sea mine near the Romanian coast in October 2023.
The tempo accelerated from late 2025.
The Turkish-flagged LPG tanker MT Orinda was damaged in a Russian attack on Izmail's port infrastructure in November. In December, the Turkish vessel VIVA, carrying Ukrainian sunflower oil to Egypt, was struck by a Russian drone, and the Turkish ferry CENK T, operating between Türkiye, Ukraine and Romania, was damaged in a Russian missile attack on Odesa.
In 2026, the Turkish-operated, Vanuatu-flagged bulk carrier ANT was attacked by a Russian drone after departing Odesa on May 28, wounding two Turkish crew members. A Turkish-owned, Panama-flagged dry cargo vessel was attacked by a Russian drone off Chornomorsk on June 22, also wounding two Turkish crew members, and on July 20, the Turkish-owned, Guinea-Bissau-flagged bulk carrier Golden Leo was struck by three Russian cruise missiles shortly after leaving Odesa, killing multiple crew members and a Ukrainian pilot.
The clustering of damaged ships off Türkiye's Black Sea coast underscores how the spiraling drone war on commercial shipping, which has also seen the Ukraine-bound tanker Gas Lisbon hit off Romania and Filipino and Indian seafarers killed has moved from the war zone to Türkiye's doorstep, days after Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan warned in Kyiv that "the targeting of ports, tankers and fishing boats in Black Sea and putting civilians' lives at risk cannot be justified."

When Chris Philp heard a volley of shots on the high seas and spun round to see a French gunship, he believed he was the victim of naval aggression and updated his social media feed accordingly.
The reality appears to be more mundane: it was, the French authorities said, a routine Channel training exercise by officers who had no idea that the shadow home affairs spokesperson was present, or who he was in the first place.
Philp was being interviewed by the BBC on a fishing vessel a couple of miles off Boulogne on Tuesday when the French boat Flamant passed by at a distance of about 300 metres. As it did so, a French navy officer standing at the stern fired 17 shots from a handgun, aiming away from Philp.
Philp, who was being questioned about the small boats crisis, turned to the BBC interviewer Michael Keohan and said: Is that toward us? I dunno.
After uploading a video of the incident to X, Philp claimed it could have been an attempt to censor debate about asylum seekers travelling to the UK in dinghies: There was no notice or training exercise in place. Felt like warning shots or attempted intimidation.
After several hours of online speculation that the shots could provoke a diplomatic incident, the French authorities said the gunfire had nothing to do with Philp or the BBC but was conducted to ensure operation readiness amid international tensions.
Earlier this month, a Russian warship, shadowed by a Royal Navy vessel, carried out a live-fire artillery exercise 46 miles south of Plymouth.
A statement from French defence staff said: French navy units train regularly. Individual combatant training is a normal activity for a vessel on operations.
The statutory signals required by international standards for this type of firing exercise were displayed, and all safety protocols were followed.
This exercise is unrelated to the presence of a British ship in the area, which was outside the range of the firing. The Flamant was not engaged in an operation to monitor migrant vessels.
Some were sceptical that a French gunship would have acted in response to Philps interview, or been aware of it.
One former senior Border Force officer said: There are often exercises at sea involving the Royal or the French navy, and shots are occasionally fired, usually using blanks. This may be nothing at all.
Kevin Rowlands, a retired Royal Navy captain and journal editor at the RUSI thinktank, said it was unlikely that the French were deliberately trying to intimidate Philp.
He said naval vessels train pretty regularly with small arms and the handgun appeared to be aimed in a safe direction.
And so, on the face of it, I dont think this appears to be an incident where the French are actively trying to intimidate a British politician or the BBC. That seems a little bit much, from what Ive seen, he said.
Those on the boat with Philp said that the incident was unsettling.
Keohan described it as the most unusual moment in the quiet of the Channel. He said he saw a French patrol officer at the back of the boat pointing a pistol toward the sea and believed that was where the shots came from.
The journalist added: There was no warning for our boat, no signs given that this was the French intention.
The captain of the fishing boat, Matt Coker, said he also believed it was an attempt at intimidation.
Coker told the Times, which was also onboard the boat: Its a bit strange that as they approached us there wasnt fire or anything and then as they went past, afterwards there wasnt fire or anything, he said. They only seemed to be firing the weapons when they were right alongside us. So I find that a bit strange because weve got all this open sea out here.
Asked to respond to the French authorities denial, Philp said it was not credible.
They fired the live rounds at the closest point of approach to us and didnt fire anything that we saw before or after. It looked and sounded exactly like deliberate intimidation, he said.
A Home Office spokesperson said: This is a matter for the French authorities.

Cest magnifique, mais ce nest pas la guerre. Captain Chris Hunter-Killer Philp had been on patrol since first light in the Channel. While the rest of the country was still asleep, the Philpster was scanning the horizon for rubber dinghies full of illegal immigrants. Something he had never done in his previous life as immigration minister. Back then he had sought to rehouse new arrivals in hotels. Now he wanted to send them to a watery grave.
It had been a quiet morning. Too quiet. Just the one sighting of a child with a rubber ring paddling off the beach in Boulogne. But Hunter-Killer was taking no chances. All it takes is one child and before long there will be hundreds of thousands making the crossing with swimming aids bought from the local Carrefour. So the Philpster had called in the RAF. Minutes later, a Typhoon FGR4 had blasted the kid out of the water. Job done. Pour encourager les autres.
Half an hour later, all hell broke loose. A French warship had appeared starboard. The next thing Hunter-Killer heard was the sound of 17 indistinct pops in the distance. Get down, he shouted to his crew. Were under attack. Weirdly, no one on board the Philpsters MTB disguised as a fishing vessel seemed remotely worried. How come they were so slow to sense danger? There again, few had the finely tuned antennae of the Philpster. Those years of training with the Special Boat Service had paid off.
Hunter-Killer threw himself on the floor of the wheelhouse, waiting for the gunshots to stop. I think its safe now, a deckhand said. It was just some French sailor firing some shots from a handgun away from us into the sea. It wasnt as if he was aiming at us or anything. He was probably just test-firing. Its no big deal.
You dont understand, squeaked Captain Philpster. This was a definite attempt by the French to intimidate me. Typical of Johnny Foreigner to send out a warship to track the shadow home secretary. They dont like it up em. Theyve probably got special guns that fire round corners. So you think theyre shooting in a harmless direction but the bullets turn 90 degrees in flight. I came within a whisker of being hit. Not that anyone gets to intimidate Hunter-Killer. Help! Help!
The crew looked rather nonplussed. Most of them hadnt even heard the shots he was probably using a silencer, said the Philpster let alone had any idea they had come under serious attack. But Hunter-Killer was adamant. The Frenchies had been out to eliminate him. He had got too close to stopping the small boat crossings and Macron would never stand for that. So he was prepared to stop at nothing. Even risk starting a global conflict. Well, it had ended badly for Napoleon and it would end badly for Macron. Nor should the French forget that it had been the English who saved them in the second world war. Well, we wouldnt make that mistake again.
Sacré bleu! said one member of Border Force. There are often exercises at sea involving the Royal or the French navy, and shots are occasionally fired, usually using blanks. This may be nothing at all.
The Philpster ordered him to keep quiet. The last thing he wanted was any collaborators speaking in French. Careless talk costs vies. He pulled the burner phone out of his pocket and speed-dialled Kemi. Im under attack, he gasped. Even though the French arent shooting at me, they are definitely shooting at me. They dont want me to stop any small boats crossing the Channel, even though I havent yet seen any small boats. We need to be on our guard. The smuggling gangs must now be using invisible dinghies.
Kemis eyes lit up. If only she was prime minister, she would be able to launch a tactical first nuclear strike on Calais. OK, there might be some collateral damage in Kent but it would still be worth it. Instead, she had to order the Philpster to disengage with the enemy.
I cant do that, said Hunter-Killer. While most politicians run from danger, I am trained to run towards it. So what I will do is film a clip of me being extraordinarily brave by doing nothing and then phone the French embassy to complain. If only they put as much effort into intimidating the people smugglers as they put into intimidating me. Not that I was intimidated. But it would be good to see the French navy also firing shots in the opposite direction to the dinghies.

Russia has been accused of violating Polish airspace, after a missile exploded in a field in the east of the country, triggering Nato air defences, in the midst of a massive air raid that killed 13 people in neighbouring Ukraine.
Polish authorities said that the explosion near the village of Tarnawa-Kolonia, close to Lublin, had created a 10-metre-wide crater. Residents of Tarnawa-Kolonia reported hearing an explosion at about 4am that shook the windows of their homes, police said.
Natos supreme ⁠allied commander for Europe, Gen Alexus Grynkewich, said: Nato will continue to take all necessary measures to defend Nato territory.
The Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk, speaking at the scene of the explosion, in a field about 50 miles from the Ukrainian border, said the missile was most likely Russian. From the analysis of most of the traces, the recovered fragments point to a Russian KH-101 missile, he told journalists.
He said there was no reason to think that Poland had been the target of the missile but said the Polish military had been prepared to shoot it down if it threatened a built-up area.
As the attacks on Ukraine took place, Poland scrambled fighter jets to protect its airspace, its armed forces said.
Ukraines foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, said in a post on X that a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile had crossed into Poland.
The Russian embassy in Warsaw did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment.
António Costa, the president of the EU council, said on X: Last night, Russia launched a massive combined strike against Ukraine. During the attack, Polish airspace was also violated, underlining once again that Russias aggression is a threat to the security of Europe as a whole.
Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, said the ⁠Russian missile incident ⁠in ⁠Poland was another unacceptable violation of the ⁠EUs airspace.
At least 13 people in Ukraine including one in Kyiv died in Thursdays attacks, which extended as far ⁠as the western city of Lviv.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ⁠said Russia appeared to have used a North Korean missile in an attack near the central city of Kryvyi Rih, which local officials said killed ⁠six people, including two girls, aged five and 12.
In Radushne, the Russians used a missile from North Korea for the first time in a long time that is what preliminary data shows, Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address. The alliance of Moscow bastards with the mad regime in North Korea for ⁠missiles, for the North Korean contingent here in Europe, on our borders, and for the killing of our Ukrainian children.
Another six people, including two children, were killed in the regions of Dnipropetrovsk and Poltava.
The military administration for Kyiv confirmed one death, with the mayor, Vitali Klitschko, reporting fires in several districts. Earlier, he posted: The enemy is attacking the capital with ballistic weapons. The threat of further attack remains present. Stay in shelters!
In Lviv, close to Poland, rescue workers were scrambling to clear rubble to reach those trapped after Russian missiles damaged two blocks of flats and injured 26 people, officials said.
Late on Wednesday, Zelenskyy had posted: The Russians prepared a massive attack several days ago, and there is a high probability that the strike will be carried out tonight Please, in all regions of Ukraine, pay attention to air raid alerts today and stay safe.
Zelenskyy also repeated his request to Ukraines allies to supply Kyiv with the missiles its air defence system lacked. It is important that our partners fully understand what is happening and that the protection of peoples lives depends directly on their willingness, or lack of willingness, to provide air defence missiles.
Russias defence ministry, commenting on the strikes, said it had used land, sea and air-launched missiles, as well as strike drones, during the raid and claimed it had targeted military industrial facilities.
Elsewhere on Thursday, the ⁠Ukrainian military struck four Russian ⁠tankers in the Black Sea ⁠and the Sea of ⁠Azov, Ukraines drone forces commander, Robert Brovdi, said.
Brovdi said on the Telegram app that 205 tankers 130 in the Sea of Azov ⁠and 75 in the Black Sea had been hit in the past three weeks.

A British tourist in Poland has captured on camera the moment air raid sirens started blaring during Russian strikes in Ukraine.
In the early hours of Thursday (30 July), Ryan, who was staying in Lublin, was woken to the sounds of sirens. As a British tourist this scared the hell out of me, he wrote.
The alarm was triggered by Russian airstrikes in neighbouring Ukraine, which killed eight people. The sirens stopped after a few minutes.
Polands defence minister Wladyslav Kosiniak-Kamysz said that the country endured an extremely tough night, which saw sirens blare, F-16 fighter jets scrambled and a suspected Russian missile crash into a field.

Ukraine launched a wave of overnight drone strikes deep into Russia early Wednesday, hitting a major logistics hub belonging to e-commerce Wildberries in the Ryazan region.
At least nine Wildberries facilities have been targeted in the past two weeks as Kyiv steps up attacks on warehouses, after accusing the firm of helping to bolster Vladimir Putins war machine.
According to Data Insight analyst Sergei Semko, goods destroyed by strikes on Wildberries warehouses in Moscow and Tambov regions alone were worth up to an estimated $2.9 billion.

What is Wildberries?
Wildberries is Russia's largest online marketplace. It has been called the country's equivalent of Amazon, as its business model resembles a mix of Amazon Marketplace, eBay, and Temu.
Founded in 2004 by Tatyana Kim, who is now Russia's richest woman, the company has since become the dominant e-commerce platform in Russia and several neighbouring countries.
Hosting millions of third-party sellers, the platform sells almost everything, from electronics to groceries.
It operates a vast network of warehouses, sorting centres, and logistics hubs across Russia.
Now, its facilities are being deliberately targeted by Ukrainian drones.

Why is Ukraine attacking Wildberries?
Kyivs reasons for attacking Wildberries appear to be two-fold.
Ukrainian officials say that the company's warehouses and transport network is actively involved in storing or transport goods that ultimately support the Russian military, a claim Moscow denies.
Because Kyiv alleges that the company is part of Russia's wartime logistics and economic infrastructure, they insist Wildberries infrastructure is a legitimate target.
However, the attacks also appear to be part of an attempt to increase economic pressure on Russia.
An executive at Ukraines leading arms producer, Fire Point, emphasised that Wildberries is being targeted partly because of its partnership with state-controlled bank VTB.
In an interview posted on Monday, Denys Shtilerman, Fire Points co-founder and chief designer, described Wildberries as the largest borrower in Russia and said its demise would lead to the collapse of a large number of banks, including VTB.
Described as the backbone of what the Kremlin calls the Russian platform economy, Wildberries has been considered central to plans for economic growth after the government purchased a 5 per cent stake in the company earlier this year.
Together, Wildberries and competitor Ozon, account for economic activity worth around 8.5% of Russia's GDP.
They support around 4 million jobs, or more than 5% of Russia's workforce.
As the country continues to face a steadily-weakening rouble, and a steadily-increasing inflation rate, the central bank has cut its key interest rate to 14 per cent, highlighting the growing strain on Russia's wartime economy.
Continued Ukrainian attacks on Wildberries are set to further add to this pressure.

How has Russia responded?
For Russia, the attacks on Wildberries mark another severe economic blow amidst the increasing cost of sustaining its war in Ukraine.
The Kremlin has acknowledged it may have to financially prop up Wildberries, which has lost 10 per cent of its warehousing capacity and a huge amounts of stock as a result of Ukrainian attacks.
Meanwhile, the US Senate took the first steps toward passage of a sweeping Russian sanctions bill on Tuesday.
After meeting with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, the bipartisan procedural vote secured an 86-12 majority.
The bill is set to penalise countries that continue to buy Russian oil, gas and other exports.

A drone factory in Kyiv destroyed by a Russian ballistic missile on Friday was owned by a US corporation registered in Delaware, in what appears to be the first time Moscow has targeted a US company in the conflict.
Terminal Autonomy makes precision deep-strike drones with guidance systems that are resistant to Russian jamming signals, according to a person familiar with the company.
The phrase terminal autonomy refers to the final phase of a kamikaze drones attack in which AI takes over control of the weapon after the defending force jams radio waves or mobile service.
State records show that the corporation was registered in Delaware in 2023. The companys website says: We deploy AI-guided loitering munitions and precision munitions, which are already in active service against enemy assets on the frontline.
Terminal Autonomy did not reply to an emailed request for comment. The Ukrainian defence ministry also did not respond to an email.
Anthony Vinci, a former senior US intelligence officer who wrote The Fourth Intelligence Revolution: The Future of Espionage and the Battle to Save America, said: The Russians dont care who owns the manufacturing facility. Its still a target. They dont care if its American or someone elses.
Early in July, Donald Trump, who had previously been lukewarm to efforts to arm Ukraine, said the US would license Ukraine to manufacture Patriot anti-aircraft missiles.
Vinci said: I do think if Patriot missiles or any American system was manufactured in Ukraine, I think the Russians would target that manufacturing facility.
The Russian state news agency Tass first reported on the attack on Sunday, citing the Russian defence ministry as its source. The report did not disclose that an American company owned the factory but mentioned that specialists from a Ukrainian-American company had worked there. Tass accurately reported that the plant made AQ-400 Scythe and AQ-100 Bayonet drones.
Nobody was killed in the attack, according to a source familiar with the company.

Line in the sand: The border between Poland and Kaliningrad Oblast, an exclave of Russia (Annabel Grossman/The Independent)

Its hard to believe Im in Poland. The powdery golden sand, sharp blue skies, waves softly lapping at the shore, and softly rising dunes are nothing like the drab, grey shoreline I anticipated when planning an off-season trip in central Europe.
Im reminded of the beaches of the American northeast the shores of the Outer Banks in South Carolina or even Long Island beaches in the Hamptons. I am, in fact, strolling along the Vistula Spit, a thin piece of land stretching out into the Baltic Sea in northern Poland, with the Vistula Lagoon on one side and Gdansk Bay on the other. Just a few hundred metres at its thinnest point, the Polish side of this sandbar ends abruptly around halfway along the spit, at which point the land runs into Russian territory.
Despite its location rubbing up against a hostile neighbour, this pretty stretch of shoreline is proving itself to be a tranquil little haven.
Krynica Morska, the largest town on the spit, had a slightly eerie air to it the previous evening when Id arrived in town in the fading light of late March. Driving past the pier with its fairground rides half-covered in tarpaulin and weaving my way through streets of shuttered hotels, Krynica Morska felt ghostly, almost abandoned.
The next morning is a different story. At 7am, gulls swoop among the sand dunes through the early light, while roe deer roam among the pine forest that lines the beaches. Even out of the tourist season, there are a handful of people enjoying the shoreline, including a couple laughing as they play in the waves.
Krynica Morska which sits in the Pomorskie region of northern Poland, thats also home to the port cities of Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot comes to life in summer with families from across Poland (and the odd international visitor) taking advantage of the pretty seaside. In a few months, these sands where Im standing will be filled with picnicking families, colourful windbreakers and friends playing music.

The town welcomes thousands of tourists a week during the summer season, swelling its year-round population of 1,300 significantly, but the vast majority of these are Polish visitors. Despite the popularity of Poland for city breaks, UK visitors havent yet discovered the charms of this seaside resort: compared to the hundreds of thousands of foreign visitors that spend a few days in Krakow or Gdansk every year, a fraction of this number will enjoy a break in Krynica Morska each summer.

Even compared to the low prices that Brits enjoy in Polish cities, a holiday on the Vistula Spit is cheap. In March (with temperatures dropping to 5C), the simple one-bed wooden chalet I rented in a holiday park near the beach barely set me back £60 a night, and even at the height of peak season (July-August) its still a very reasonable £221.
Some 10km to the east of Krynica Morska, passing through pretty woodland, you reach the smaller town of Piaski, nestled right up against the border of the Kaliningrad Oblast. This 15,100 square kilometre oblast (roughly the size of Yorkshire or half the size of Belgium), with a population of around one million, is a Russian exclave sandwiched between Poland to the south and Lithuania to the north and east. Its completely cut off from the Russian mainland (you would need to pass through a EU member to reach it), but it is of significant strategic importance to Moscow as it is home to the Baltic fleet and provides Russias only year-round, ice-free access to the Baltic Sea; the oblasts positioning means that in the past it has been described as a dagger pointing at the heart of Europe.
The looming spectre of Russia hangs heavy over Poland, a country that still bears painful memories of the USSR and shares a border with Ukraine, yet the fact that Piaski sits so close to Russia barely seems of note.

Walk from Piaski to the Kaliningrad border with Russia (Annabel Grossman/The Independent)

In contrast to the restaurants and fairground rides of Krynica Morska, here in Piaski, the focus is on nature. Fishing is popular in seas that are rich with flounder, herring and turbot, and the sandbar sits on several migratory routes, meaning theres a diverse array of birdlife. In the village, theres a cafe called Koniec Świata (the end of the world a nod to its location) thats closed until summer, a childrens playground, a few hotels and a couple of restaurants, also shuttered until the tourist season starts.
The most beautiful part of this beach is the stretch by the border. Its reached by a peaceful walk from the town, around 5km through woodland with the white beaches to the north of the spit and marshland reaching to the lagoon in the south. The border itself is marked by some raggedy wire fencing that has been weathered down, and a couple of Stop signs, plus a rather weary sign that warns tourists they risk imprisonment of up to three years or a fine by stepping over the border.
The Polish side has scattered footprints in the sand; the Russian side has no sign of activity just untouched white-gold sand stretching into the distance. Perhaps an unlikely spot for a European beach break, but with golden beaches, low prices and nature-filled trails, it might not be too long until the international crowds catch on.

A drone attack set ablaze an energy facility and warehouses in Russia's Volgograd region on Friday, injuring five, the regional governor, Andrei Bocharov, said, but stopped short of giving details of the facilities.
The region is home to a Lukoil-owned oil refinery. Five people are seeking medical help after the attacks, Bocharov added on Telegram.
Top online retailer Wildberries said in a Telegram statement that one of its logistic hubs in the city of Volgograd caught fire following the attack, but there were no injuries.

Russia's second-largest e-commerce company, Ozon, says it has been forced to evacuate its warehouse in the town of Zelenodolsk in the Tatarstan region due to a Ukrainian drone alert.
The evacuation took just a few minutes to complete and there were no casualties. The logistics centre was undamaged and has since resumed operations, the company said.
Video showed a plume of white smoke rising next to a blue-coloured Ozon warehouse. Another unverified video posted on social media showed warehouse workers hurrying out of an Ozon warehouse and watching as a drone crashed into the ground some distance away with a loud explosion.
Ukraine has attacked at least a dozen warehouses belonging to Ozon's main rival, Wildberries, since July 18 in a bid to disrupt the operations of the company, a linchpin in Russia's consumer economy.
Ozon and Wildberries warehouses are located next to each other in many locations - including Zelenodolsk - and it was not clear on Friday which of the warehouses Ukraine was targeting.

A Ukrainian drone reportedly struck a Turkish-owned roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) cargo ship near Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, accessed on Aug. 3, 2026. (IHA Photo)

ATurkish-owned roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) cargo ship carrying fresh fruit and vegetables from Türkiye to Russia was reportedly struck by drones near Russias Black Sea port of Novorossiysk, injuring four crew members, including three Turkish nationals.
The Cameroon-flagged Nadezhda was attacked at about 4:30 p.m. Türkiye time while sailing from Samsun to Novorossiysk, Turkish Ihlas News Agency (IHA) reported. The vessel was about 30 nautical miles from Novorossiysk when the attack occurred.
The vessel was identified as the Nadezhda, reportedly owned by Samsun-based Kalyoncu Shipping and operated with a Turkish crew. Maritime databases also link the vessel to the Samsun-based company.
A fire broke out aboard the ship following the attack. Crew members responded to the blaze, according to the report.
The ships captain, Yalcin Sahin, alleged that Ukraine carried out the attack and said six or seven drones were used.
Sahin said everyone aboard was alive but that there were injuries. A personnel count was reportedly conducted after the attack, with all crew members accounted for and no one reported missing.
Four crew members were injured, including three Turkish nationals, according to IHA. The report did not provide details about the severity of their injuries.
The presence of drones in the area reportedly made it difficult for Russian naval vessels to approach the Nadezhda and provide assistanc.
Footage circulating on social media also appeared to show a Russian patrol boat alongside or approaching the vessel following the incident.
The claim that a Ukrainian drone carried out the strike could not be independently verified.

Vessel sails under Cameroon flag

MarineTraffic identifies the Nadezhda, International Maritime Organization (IMO) number 7702657, as a Cameroon-flagged ro-ro cargo ship.
The vessel has an overall length of 118.73 meters (389.5 feet) and a width of 18.83 meters.
There was no immediate independently verifiable statement from the vessel's operator or Ukrainian and Russian authorities confirming the details of the reported strike.

Turkish-linked vessels face Black Sea risks

The reported attack would be the latest in a series of incidents involving Turkish-owned or Turkish-operated commercial vessels in the Black Sea since the Russia-Ukraine war began.
Ukraine has targeted Russian-flagged vessels in the Black Sea throughout the nearly four-and-a-half-year war and has accused Russia of using the waterway to transport sanctioned goods, including oil.
Russia has separately launched multiple strikes on Ukrainian port infrastructure and vessels approaching Ukrainian ports since the war began, attacks Kyiv has described as war crimes.
Türkiye has repeatedly warned that attacks on commercial shipping are expanding the risks of the war beyond the immediate conflict zone, while Turkish-owned and Turkish-crewed vessels continue to operate in contested Black Sea routes.
