Three big ships were attacked by drones in the Black Sea.

It was not badly damaged, and no one was hurt.

The ship then went to a place called Inebolu in Turkey for help.

We don't know who did the attack.

Two other ships, Ladonna and Wael K, were attacked near Ukraine.

One was carrying soybeans, and the other was picking up grain.

One person was killed, and another was hurt.

Russia said they did these attacks because other ships were attacking their oil ships.

These attacks are making it hard for Ukraine to send its products to other countries.
