Russia has announced that a recent blast on a cargo ship was a deliberate “terrorist attack”, contradicting its initial statement that the explosion occurred in the engine room. This dramatic shift in narrative raises questions about the circumstances surrounding the incident and the potential motivations behind it.
The cargo ship, identified as the Ursa Major, suffered significant damage in the blast, resulting in the sinking of the vessel. Two sailors are reported missing, while 14 others were rescued by Spanish authorities and taken to Cartagena . The incident has sparked a probe into the cause of the explosion, with Russia’s assertion that it was a terrorist attack adding a new layer of complexity to the investigation.
As the investigation unfolds, it remains to be seen what evidence will emerge to support Russia’s claim of a terrorist attack. The incident has already sparked international attention, and the outcome of the investigation will likely have significant implications for global maritime security.
