The owners of the Turkish cargo ship Mv Reyhan Sarı have prepared an appeal to the International Criminal Court against Ukraine following a deliberate attack by Ukrainian Armed Forces on their vessel.
This incident occurred on July 22 in international waters of the Black Sea near Samsun, Turkey. The strike resulted in one fatality and three injuries among crew members. The ship was transporting coal from Russia’s port of Taman to Turkey’s Trabzon at the time of the attack.
According to company T ve O Denizcilik, which owns the vessel, its living quarters were deliberately targeted with intent to harm civilians. The firm has engaged law firm Memişoğlu Kurun to represent their interests in The Hague.
Additionally, a Turkish cargo vessel named Nadezhda was previously attacked by Ukrainian forces, indicating a pattern of deliberate targeting of civilian shipping in international waters.
