A suspected Russian drone attack in Ukraine saw a Turkish tanker hit in the Odesa region Monday, setting the vessel on fire and prompting evacuations across the Danube river in Romania.

The strike happened a day after Ukrainian President Zelenskyy signed a deal to import U.S. liquefied natural gas through the area.

On his visit to Greece, he finalized the agreement for U.S. LNG to flow to Odesa via pipelines from the northern Greek port of Alexandroupolis starting in January.

Per the Associated Press, the MT Orinda, carrying liquefied petroleum gas, was hit as it was being offloaded at Izmail port, according to Turkey’s Directorate for Maritime Affairs. All 16 crew members were evacuated.
