LONDON, March 3 (Reuters) – The Estonian-owned cargo ship Helt sunk on
Thursday off the Ukrainian port of Odessa after an explosion, the
vessel’s manager said.
Two crew members were in a life raft at sea while four others were
unaccounted for, Igor Ilves, managing director of Tallinn-based manager
Vista Shipping Agency, told Reuters.
“The vessel has finally sunk,” he said. “Two of the crew are in a raft
on the water and four others are missing. I don’t know where they are at
the moment.”
Ilves said the vessel might have struck a mine.
Holyshitfuck!!!!!
Local media is all over it, still no news about the crew.
Russian news is already reporting that fascist Estonian ship attacked Russian peacekeeping mine.
Fuck could this lead to NATO involvement?
This is more and more like hearing about German subs harassing/sinking American ships back in 1917 or 1940
That mine was undergoing peacekeeping operations.
This has been an act of war orchestrated by NATO, must attack immediately.

Previous ships that have been hit:
* [A Turkish ship was hit by a bomb outside Odessa on Feb 24th](https://www.reuters.com/world/turkish-owned-ship-hit-by-bomb-off-coast-odessa-no-casualties-turkish-authority-2022-02-24/). No casulaties.
* [One Moldovan and one Japanese ship were struck outside Odessa on Feb 26th](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/moldovan-flagged-tanker-hit-by-missile-ukraine-coast-2022-02-25/). Also this time there were no casulaties reported, but two on the Moldovan ship were reported seriously injured.
Unlike the Turkish, Moldovan and Japanese ships, the Estonian ship sank, and four crew are still missing, so this seems worse.
