Bodies of seafarers killed by Russia returned home
More than a month after the missile attack targeting the 'Golden Leo' near the Ukrainian port of Odesa, the bodies of two Indian sailors have returned home. Abhishek Nishad and Akhil Goyan, crew members who lost their lives in the attack, arrived in India 34 days after the incident, following the completion of identification procedures and their transport via Moldova. The attack claimed the lives of several crew members, including four Indian sailors; however, confirmed information regarding the repatriation of the remaining victims' bodies to their respective countries remained limited.
No oil leakage from wreck observed
Ukrainian officials have started an environmental monitoring effort and were coordinating increased security following the sinking of the 'Golden Leo', the ports in the Odesa region remained open with shipping traffic continuing to move through the sea corridor. An effort coordinated with multiple agencies in Ukraine responded on July 27 to a possible oil leak from the wreck. State Ecological inspectors visited the site approximately five nautical miles from the Odesa coast, to investigate initial reports of a possible oily spot on the surface. There may still be about 150 tons of fuel and several tons of engine oil on board. As of the July 29, there were no signs of contamination from the fuel, lubricants, or other fluids aboard the vessel. The stain was determined to be coming from the corn husks aboard the vessel, which had loaded 2,800 metric tons of corn at Chornomorsk. Ukraine had requested a session of the UN Security Council to discuss the situation and its impact on the global grain markets. The Odesa prosecutor’s office reported that between June 20 and July 20, Russian forces had attacked 28 merchant vessels in the Greater Odesa ports. 21 people were killed and 34 were injured. Ukraine has lost about a third of its capacity to export grain from the Black Sea ports. Wheat prices have jumped by 20 % since the beginning of July as ports in Odesa, Chornomorsk, Pivdennyi, Izmail, and Mykolaiv have come under sustained attack.

Ship sank six days after Russian attack
On July 26, the 'Golden Leo', still carrying its cargo of corn, started to list to port side, before it finally capsized and sank stern first near the port of Odesa. The wreck came to rest at a water depth of 22-24 meters. The vessel had previously been struck at starboard side by three Russian Kh-59/Kh-69 cruise missiles. The incident resulted in the loss of nine crew members and the Ukrainian pilot. The ship was too heavily damaged to be towed into a port. The ship sank after six days of progressive flooding.
