Russian Ship Ursa Major Explodes and Sinks in Mediterranean; 14 Crew Members Rescued, Two Missing
A Russian cargo vessel, the Ursa Major, exploded and sank in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Spain on December 23, after a catastrophic explosion in its engine room.
The explosion caused the ship to list severely before it capsized.
The ship, traveling between St.
Petersburg and Vladivostok, was carrying cargo, initially believed to be port cranes and hatch covers for icebreakers, intended for Russia's Far East.
The Spanish coast guard successfully rescued 14 of the 16 crew members onboard, while two crew members remain missing.
Fishing vessels and rescue teams quickly responded to the distress call, aiding in the efforts to save the survivors.
Video footage from the scene shows the Ursa Major listing heavily to the left before sinking completely.
The ship, which was built in 2009, had undergone scheduled maintenance earlier in 2024.
The operator, SK-Yug, has not yet commented publicly on the incident.

A tragic aviation incident in Russia's Far East has left five people dead after a Russian MI-8 helicopter vanished on July 14. Operated by airline Vzlyot, the aircraft was returning to Magadan after maintenance but crashed near Cape Gadikan in Khabarovsk Krai. Fire-damaged wreckage was discovered on July 16. All onboard—three crew members and two technicians—have been confirmed dead.
The MI-8, a Soviet-designed workhorse, has seen multiple crashes in recent years. Russian authorities are now investigating the cause of this latest disaster as concerns over aviation safety in remote regions grow. Search efforts were hampered by rugged terrain and harsh weather.
Footage from the site shows the devastating aftermath.

On Russia’s Navy Day, Ukrainian drones rained over St. Petersburg, forcing the cancellation of a key naval parade and halting flights at Pulkovo Airport. Russia’s Defense Ministry claims it downed 291 drones. Meanwhile, Moscow retaliated with strikes on Kyiv, wounding civilians and damaging homes. In Sumy, a Russian drone hit a civilian bus, killing 3. As the war enters its 1250th day, tensions rise beyond the battlefield, with EU leaders urging Zelensky to preserve anti-corruption reforms and Austria signaling interest in joining NATO.

In one of the largest overnight drone barrages, Russia claims its air defense forces intercepted 99 drones targeting key cities and infrastructure across western Russia. Airports in St. Petersburg, Kaluga, and Volgograd were paralyzed, with 70+ flights delayed. Train services in Volgograd faced hours-long halts after drone debris damaged railway power lines. Debris fell in residential and industrial areas, reportedly injuring at least one person in Leningrad Oblast.
The Russian Defense Ministry accused Ukraine of orchestrating the strikes, with Kyiv yet to issue a statement. Targeted regions included Bryansk, Smolensk, Kaluga, Volgograd, Rostov, and even occupied Crimea and Moscow. While Russia continues its aggressive strikes on Ukraine, this retaliation suggests an expanding and unpredictable aerial conflict zone. The Kyiv Independent couldn’t verify the claims independently. This is a rapidly developing story.

Panic and paralysis gripped St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo Airport as a massive drone threat grounded flights and triggered Russia’s largest aviation disruption this year. Over 7,000 passengers were stranded after Moscow shut down the skies over northern Russia in response to what officials described as a coordinated Ukrainian drone assault.
The result: more than 100 delayed flights, 30 canceled, and a bizarre traffic jam of planes unable to take off or land. Social media was flooded with footage showing anxious travelers, packed terminals, and idle aircraft lining the tarmac. The Kremlin has not confirmed whether any drones were intercepted or hit specific targets, but the lockdown has added pressure on Russia’s internal defense systems. The incident raises serious questions about the vulnerability of key infrastructure even far from the front lines, and could mark a turning point in Ukraine’s drone warfare strategy deep into Russian airspace.
