Guverner ruske regije Rostov Jurij Sljusar je pred tem na družbenem omrežju Telegram zapisal, da so bila ponoči napadena le štiri plovila. Pri tem je bil po njegovih besedah ubit mornar.

Sljusar je dejal, da je v ukrajinskih napadih nastala le manjša škoda in da ni nevarnosti, da bi s tankerja z zelo vnetljivim metanolom prišlo do uhajanja snovi.
