Russian ship struck by drones near Crete
About a dozen bombs, which were dropped from a number of drones, struck the 'Lady Mariia' west of Crete and north of Libya on Sep 6, 2026, while it was sailing from Oran towards Syria. On Sep 5 at 7:51 p.m. UTC, the 'Lady Mariia' was sailing at 9.4 knots on a 106.2° course in the central Mediterranean. The attack took place farther east, in the broader area between Libya and Crete. The projectiles hit the deck, cranes and funnels several times, initiating a small fire. The bombs were able to cause damage to the deck handling equipment and to the castle of the ship, without being big enough to penetrate below decks and to sink the ship. Several impacts were concentrated around the deck and shipboard equipmen, which could point to an operation designed to disable cargo-handling systems or damage the military cargo rather than destroy the vessel outright. The ship moored on Port Said anchorage in pos. 31° 41' N 032° 08' E on Sep 8 at 9.53 p.m. The 'Lady Mariia' was a familiar name on international blacklists. The US sanctioned it under its former name 'Stella-Maria' due to its links to the Russian shipping company Transmorflot. Ukraine followed suit, classifying it as an illegal vessel on May 23, 2026. The Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Agency has long tracked the ship as a key military asset moving heavy weapons between Tartus and Novorossiysk in Russia. The ship was allegedly carrying Iranian weapons and armoured vehicles, which were to be delivered to Russian forces, but this was unconfirmed. There was also no public confirmation from Ukrainian authorities that Kyiv carried out the attack. No vessels from the Russian Navy appeared to have been close at hand to provide any support for the 'Lady Mariia'. The vessel’s condition, its ability to continue toward Syria, and whether it would attempt to reach a port of refuge were yet unclear.
