The Cameroon-flagged, Turkish-owned Ro-Ro vessel Nadezhda was struck by a drone off Russia's Novorossiysk port on August 3, 2026 — one of two Turkish-owned vessels attacked that evening. Several crew members were injured, three seriously. The ship has now been towed into Turkey's Samsun port for inspection.
