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.

Breaking: Ukrainian drones have reportedly struck multiple Russian oil facilities overnight, including major blasts at the Ryazan refinery and an oil depot in Luhansk Oblast. Social media footage shows massive fireballs and thick smoke, highlighting Ukraine’s growing long-range strike capabilities.
Since the 2022 invasion, Ukraine has targeted Russian energy infrastructure to weaken Kremlin funding. August alone saw 12 refineries hit, cutting over 17% of Russia’s processing capacity. Previous attacks on Ryazan halved output, and now Putin admits gas shortages in the Far East, warning new enterprises may struggle to get supplies. How will Russia respond to these crippling strikes?

Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced an ambitious plan to transform Russia into a high-wage economy while launching a “United Preferential Business Regime” for Far East investors starting January 1, 2027.
Under the scheme, investors will benefit from 0% federal tax for 5 years, reduced regional tax, low insurance premiums, and reimbursement of infrastructure costs. Putin insists this bold economic strategy will not only attract global investors but also raise living standards and reshape Russia’s economic future.
Is this the beginning of a new Russian economic powerhouse — or just political posturing?

The Krasheninnikov Volcano in Russia’s Far East has erupted for the second time in 24 hours, launching a massive ash plume 4 kilometers into the sky. Following an earlier 6km blast, the rare double eruption has stunned volcanologists and triggered aviation alerts across the Kamchatka Peninsula. Captured on video for the first time in history, this eruption follows a powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake in the region. Authorities say the surrounding zone is uninhabited — but scientists warn more seismic surprises could follow.

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.
