The sinking of the Russian dry-cargo vessel Ursa Major in the Mediterranean Sea was caused by a terrorist attack, according to the vessel’s owner, the Oboronlogistika Group.
Oboronlogistika believes that on 23 December 2024 a targeted terrorist attack was carried out on the Ursa Major, a vessel owned by the company. According to the testimony of the vessel’s crew members, on 23 December 2024 at 13:50 (Moscow time) there were three consecutive explosions from the starboard side in the area of the stern,’ the press service said.
The Ursa Major was not overloaded, the company stressed.
According to Oboronlogistics, the Ursa Major is one of the largest dry-cargo vessels in Russia, with a maximum cargo capacity of 9,500 tonnes. The weight of the cargo was 806 tonnes.
On board were: two gantry cranes, two crane buckets, two bilge covers, one 20-foot container with covering equipment and 129 empty containers.

The Ursa Major is a cargo vessel built in 2009. It was sailing under Russian flag from St Petersburg to Vladivostok. The dry-cargo vessel sank in the Mediterranean, 14 crew members were rescued and taken to the port of Cartagena, two are missing. The vessel sank 67 miles off the Spanish coast and 45 miles off the Algerian coast.

The vessel was carrying cargo of strategic value to support Russian operations in the Arctic. It is highly probable that the vessel was sunk as a result of strikes by uncrewed maritime drones or by mines laid in one of the ports along its route. Apparently, one of the special services of NATO countries, probably Great Britain or France, is behind the attack on the vessel. Ukraine’s special services would traditionally be used to cover up the true perpetrators.
This attack could lead to the opening of a naval war on communications between some NATO countries and Russia and its allies.
MORE ON THE TOPIC:
it shouldn’t be no surprise by now, typical nato terrorist tactics.
who on board was the sellout? is the question.
legitimate target of a vessel carrying weapons and ammo
they learned those tactics from the german navy – most of their commissioned staff were hired by the usa after ww2.
now this is a red line!
putin promises to give another fiery speech. vows no more 4 1/2-hour speeches – 6 hours this time!
6 hours this time?!?!? the nato terrorists and their ziomafia overlords must be shaking in their boots.
beyond doubt
so what would you prefer, for him to hit the red button in a fit of emotion? remind me, what is happening to the $us at the moment and how much of ukraine has returned to russia? retaliation will come after january 20th and not when nato wants it.
putin is a just a business manager not an strong man to lead this war and even less his staff ( military and civilian), thats why there were a military coup using wagner to remove him.
really? pretty impressive business manager. when you look at what russia was like when he first took over. if only we had a business manager style, leader, in charge of us, over in the uk. instead we have a human rights lawyer, dedicated to protecting ‘kiddie sniffers’. weren’t biden, clinton, obama, blair lawyers, before entering politics?
like it, and to a very select and docile audience as per usual (with intermittent clapping). 😄😄😄
nato terrorist tactics. they just need to be thought a lesson.
nope. no where near as big as nato blowing up the nord stream gas pipes.
it’ll be fine, russia has a backup…. in 10years….soon trump will fix it. since russia won’t retaliate so nothing to worry about. putin will keep making diplomatic overtures, friends and partners.
yep, they are stupid enough to just let it go.
nafo/project alchemy trolls, so desperate to get the people of russia to turn on their leader. for whose benefit? have you noticed how much of ukraine has returned to russia and how much of ukraine is functioning at the moment?
and ethnic orthodox russians will keep being murdered all over the place
killing nearly 1 million ukrainians in under 3 years, taking 20% of the second largest, after russia, country in europe, defying nato economically and militarily, that fully backs ukraine with 100s billions.
lucky mr putin is diplomatic, as what happens when he is angry?
when will russia get on the front foot and start attacking nato assets.
crikey champ ! that’s the absolute nightmare for this kremlin crowd. that option has been hastily swept under some mouldy old carpet years ago
nah, poor ukraine is nato’s punching bag that gets all the retaliation. the ukrainian idiots are stubborn dumb mules for war, who picked the wrong side.
russia needs to completely blockade the nazi cargo fleet and bring the clowns export economy to its knees.
have you not noticed how many western leaders are having problems hanging on to their jobs? have you noticed how the world has turned its back on the $us petro-currency reserve? have you noticed how the russian economy is thriving? have you noticed that nato and the eu are virtually on their way out? have you ever asked why?
this is a huge escalation if proven to be true.
more like a huge ejaculation i’d say, all over the chess master’s head.
insignificant compared to usa blowing up the nord stream gas pies. with help from nato europe vassal governments for support and cover up.
of course it was. as was the airliner carrying 62 passengers in kazahkstan bound for russia…
and ukraine has blamed it on russia, just like they did with malaysia flight 17. the msm keeps the narrative going on that one to this day, even though the indisputable evidence is a ukrainian shootdown.
i’m sure the pirates of penzance will find themselves in a rowing race.
gibraltar and cyprus.
so sink their merchant ships! russia, stop being reactive!
actions like that are not 6d chess moves, apparently.
🇷🇺=🏃♂️🤡 😆😆😆
putin know it is usa,france and britain.but he is still selling gas,coal and oil to them including jet aluminium and parts.eerdogan convey all putins secrets to nato.let red line speech of 7 hours start.
usa,france and britain doesn’t care about putin and so call red lines their want to weaken russia with ukraine war and invade like in syria and split up.putinrisk russia.
russian warships sunk in ukraine and turkey.jets down by turkey and nato.troops kill insyria by israel.putin did nothing.orniks will be store until it become outdate like satan 1 missiles voyovodo..
really? just because president putin has not gone on a nato style carpet bombing spree. more than one way to kill a cat.
killing about 1 million nato proxy troops in ukraine in under 3 years, is nothing? destroying 100s billions of nato military equipment is nothing? resisting sanctions and bringing the uk eu economies to their knees is nothing?
the ukraine war is focused retaliation, without giving nato war mongering elites the justification to their serfs to go to war.
talking ships i can’t understand why we bomb ports but don’t sink the ships at the wharf and in the dredged roads where they’d disable the ports. we blow warehouses, customs sheds…. what’s the point of letting them unload…?
and this demonstrates that anyone can know exactly what a ship is carrying…. hence russia can know which ships are carrying tanks etc…. they need sinking en route but i never heard of one being sunk.. as i say, not even in port…..
perhaps it is more efficient to destroy weapons with a single shot after seing in which warehouees they are amassed rather than chasing individual shipments.
expensive rare long range missiles needed for that. easier and cheaper to let the nato military equipment flow into the donbass kill zone, and blow it up with cheap artillery. bonus kill nato proxy army, mercenaries and ukrainians, as well.
this is also the reason why the bridges over the dnipro river have not been targetted by russia. except for the kherson bridge, destroyed for defense.
much more attack russia must expected by usa-nato
didn’t it go down close to gibraltar? what is gibraltar famous for?
obviously an sbs action, same as the two tankers recently sunk in the kerch strait.
employing what would usually be totally unemployable english
yes and i would suspect the terrorist attack on the russian plane to be
similarly sourced from the location that wants the arctic desperately.
a strongly worded letter of condemnation to some irrelevant, no-body “authority” is what’s required here to address this.
britain owns gibraltar, so here you have the culprit. its a joke to even mention france. british have been responsible for all wars for the last 300 years
the exceptionals and their lackeys and vassals.
why doesn’t russia escort, with navy and military on board, such ships with strategic cargo? when travelling through hostile nato controlled waters.
