Summary

On November 4, 2026, the vessels Mentor, Ayaz Bey, and Ramazan Bey were reported out of service following a Shahed-style drone attack near Odesa. Reports indicate that adverse weather conditions and very rough seas caused towing cables to break, leading to a collision between the tugboat Ayaz Bey and the tanker Mentor. Strong winds and rough seas prevented the use of aircraft during the subsequent search and rescue operations.
