July 25 (Reuters) – ⁠Iran’s ⁠Foreign Ministry ⁠condemned a Ukrainian ​attack on an Iranian ‌commercial vessel in ‌the ⁠Caspian ⁠Sea, saying on Saturday it resulted ​in an explosion that killed one ​sailor and injured another.

Ukraine’s forces struck a Russian warship and vessels used for transporting Iran-linked military cargo in the ⁠Caspian Sea, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Saturday.
