Russian ship sinking near Spain

A Russian cargo ship affiliated with the country's Defense Ministry sank in the Mediterranean Sea after an explosion in the engine room, leaving two crew members missing.

According to the crew, the ship, called Ursa Major, was en route to Vladivostok, carrying two large port cranes and empty containers. The incident occurred about 57 miles off the coast of Spain.

Spanish rescue crews initially responded to the distress signal, rescuing 14 crew members and sending them to Cartagena.

However, a Russian warship later arrived at the scene to take over operations. Video footage posted on social media shows the ship floundering before sinking.

The Ursa Major is operated by a company under US sanctions for its ties to the Russian military. Ukrainian intelligence has raised suspicions about the ship's activities, claiming it may have transported military equipment from Russian bases in Syria after the fall of Bashar Assad's regime.

These claims, if true, could point to Russia's efforts to withdraw military assets from the region. Moscow has not yet commented on whether it will withdraw from Syria.

But according to Chinese state media, inside the Russian ship were "critical components of the reactor intended for the icebreaker Leader, planned to be the most powerful nuclear-powered icebreaker in the world."

In a similar development, another Russian ship, the Sparta, reportedly broke down near Portugal. Ukrainian officials say it was en route to Syria to collect additional military equipment. The crew repaired the problem and the ship has since resumed its journey.

The incidents come after another naval loss for Russia, its third oil tanker sinking in the Black Sea less than a week ago. Together, these events are drawing attention to Russia's maritime activities and raising questions about its ability to maintain a military presence beyond its borders.
