Ten people were killed in Russian attacks on merchant ships in the Black Sea, as strikes on commercial vessels intensify, according to reports.

The Russian missile struck the Golden Leo, a Guinea-Bissau-flagged ship carrying corn, off Ukraine's Odesa region, it was reported.

Russian strikes on the Odesa region killed 28 people in July alone, according to local authorities.

Separately, a Russian attack on Odesa reportedly killed three people, though it is not clear if this is distinct from the merchant ship strike.
