It investigates the sinking of a ship Estonian with a Panamanian flag after an explosion in the Black Sea, off the Ukrainian coast of Odessa. Estonia is a member of NATO so this incident could escalate conflict.
Although the causes of the sinking of the cargo ship Helt have yet to be clarified, it is believed that the cargo ship It would have collided with an aquatic mine about 37 kilometers from the port.
The cargo ship has been hit by below the waterline and has disappeared from the radar, as reported by the Ukrainian port authorities.
The managing director of the Vista Shipping Agency, Igor Ilves, explained to Reuters that two sailors would have thrown themselves into the sea in lifeboats, while four other crew members were missing. Finally, a spokesman for the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has communicated that the six crew members who were on board have managed to be rescued.
Estonian and Ukrainian authorities have not yet been able to pinpoint the exact circumstances of what happened.
