July 20 (Reuters) – An attack on a ship leaving Ukraine’s southern port of Odesa on Sunday killed four Indians and left another at hospital in a critical condition, India’s foreign ministry said in a statement late on Monday.

Russia hit the Golden Leo – a Guinea-Bissau-flagged ship manned by a crew from India and Syria – with three cruise missiles on Sunday, Ukraine’s navy wrote on the Telegram messaging app.

“​India condemns such attacks and reiterates that targeting commercial shipping and endangering innocent civilian crew members, or otherwise impeding freedom of navigation and commerce, is deplorable and should be avoided,” the ministry statement said.
