The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed that an explosion in the engine room caused the cargo ship 'Ursa Major' to sink in the Mediterranean, leading to a rescue operation.
Despite the rescue of 14 crew members, two remain missing following the incident involving the Ursa Major, which was carrying specialized equipment to Vladivostok.
The Ursa Major, built in 2009, was owned by Oboronlogistika, linked to the Russian Defense Ministry, raising questions about the vessel's cargo and mission.
Unverified footage showed the Ursa Major listing severely before it sank, indicating a potentially serious situation, although the specifics behind the engine room explosion remain unclear.
