A Turkish fishing boat was attacked in the Black Sea near Crimea, leading to one fatality and four injuries. The Turkish Coast Guard announced the incident, which occurred on Friday, but offered no specifics regarding the circumstances or perpetrators.

The vessel, identified as DURU 67, was located off the coast of Sevastopol in western Crimea, a territory annexed by Russia. Following the attack, the boat sank, according to Turkish authorities. The Coast Guard has not released further details about the nature of the attack or assigned responsibility.

The area where the incident took place is considered militarily sensitive due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Maritime navigation in the Black Sea continues to face significant security risks. This event follows previous accusations by Ukraine against Russia for drone attacks on Turkish commercial vessels in the Black Sea in December 2025, and an earlier Russian strike that damaged another Turkish ship.
