One crew ?member was killed and two more injured after a drone attack on a Panama-flagged ship in the Black Sea, ?Panama's Maritime Authority (AMP) said late ?on Friday.
The AMP said the incident ?occurred on Thursday and that ?one of the injured sailors was ?in serious condition. The ship was able to continue on its course, it added.
The ?authority added that it has "activated ?the relevant protocols to gather official information on the ?incident and maintains communication with the parties involved."
The AMP did not say where the drone attack came ?from, but ?advised ships ?to avoid traveling through Ukrainian and Russian waters ?in the Black Sea and ?the ?Sea of Azov, to the north.
Panama operates the world's largest ship registry ?with ?roughly 16% of the ?global merchant fleet sailing under its flag.
