<ul class="summary-list"><li>A missile hit the MV Aya, which was carrying grain from Ukraine to Egypt, on September 11.</li><li>The strike led to fears of a potential escalation in Russian attacks on the Black Sea grain corridor.</li></ul>A strike last month on a merchant ship in the Black Sea was almost certainly the result of a bungled Russian bomber attack using outdated ammunition, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://x.com/DefenceHQ/status/1841758861000061061">according</a> to the UK Ministry of Defence.On September 11, the Saint Kitts and Nevis-flagged vessel MV Aya was loaded with grain bound for Egypt from Ukraine's port of Odesa when it was struck by what was widely assumed to be a Russian missile.There were no casualties reported at the time.The ship was damaged, but managed to reach Romania's coast under its own steam, where it received help, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://ambrey.com/app/uploads/2024/09/Ambrey-Threat-Circular-Bulk-Carrier-Struck-By-A-Missile-Offshore-Romania.pdf">according to Ambrey, a marine insurer</a>. The strike led to fears of a potential escalation in Russian attacks on the Black Sea grain corridor. But according to UK intelligence, it was likely not meant for the Aya at all but happened "due to poor targeting procedures from Russian pilots using an aging munition."According to its assessment, the strike was almost certainly an AS-4 anti-ship missile fired from a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/everything-you-need-know-russian-tu-22m3-bomber-plane-2024-4">Russian Tu-22M3 bomber</a>.It's possible that the bomber misidentified the Aya, it said, fired "in haste," and then rushed away from the scene "for fear of being targeted by a Ukrainian surface-to-air missile.""It is a realistic possibility a detonation failure avoided catastrophic damage," the UK MOD added.It also said that <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-shoots-down-russian-tu-22m3-supersonic-bomber-first-time-2024-4">Ukraine shot down a Russian Tu-22</a>, also known as a BACKFIRE, in April this year, which would explain why Russian pilots have been "more wary with their strike operations in the Black Sea."Using long-range missile strikes and naval drones, Ukraine has managed to push <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-pulled-last-black-sea-fleet-warship-from-crimea-ukraine-2024-7">much of Russia's Black Sea Fleet</a> from its base at Sevastopol, in occupied Crimea, to the safer Russian waters of Novorossiysk.Since its exit from the Black Sea grain initiative, Russia's attacks on Ukrainian naval export abilities have been largely limited to striking ports, and — it's widely believed — <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/black-sea-naval-mine-clearance-ukraine-war-2024-9">dropping naval mines</a>.The September 11 incident was the first direct strike on a merchant ship in the grain corridor since November 2023."A direct attack" like this would mark "a significant escalation," Ambrey said, adding: "Until Russian officials provide an explanation, the threat to vessels calling Ukraine remains high."Ukraine's economy is heavily dependent on maritime exports. Before 2022, it accounted for 10% of the global grain market, with 90% of that heading out to the world via the Black Sea, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.cfr.org/article/how-ukraine-overcame-russias-grain-blockade">according to the Council on Foreign Relations</a>.Despite the potential for economic warfare, Russia has good reason to avoid escalating the threat to shipping in the Black Sea, Ambrey wrote.Any escalation would have a knock-on effect on naval insurance premiums, which "would make trade with both Russia and Ukraine significantly more costly," it said.The UK MOD was scathing about the apparent accidental attack on the Aya."Launching a supersonic cruise missile on an incorrect heading against a likely erroneous target in international waters demonstrates extremely poor and irresponsible aviation practice," it said.

Russia's strike on a merchant ship in the Black Sea was likely down to poor targeting and aged ammo: UK intel

More than 40 per cent of <keyword id="20081234" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="consumers" source="keywords">consumers</keyword> in Tier 3 to 6 cities use <keyword id="19994585" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="digital-payment" source="keywords">digital payment</keyword> on a daily basis, while 45 per cent claimed to use it once in two days, a new survey report has said. "This reflects the frequent usage of <keyword id="6358577" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="digital-payments" source="Orion">digital payments</keyword> by consumers, even in Tier 3 to 6 locations of the country," said a report by Chase India on The State of Digital Payments in India. The report identifies the key challenges faced by <keyword id="20442209" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="merchants" source="keywords">merchants</keyword> and consumers in the adoption of digital payment services at the grassroots level. According to the report, nearly half of the merchants who are not using digital payments in rural India are unaware of the service. In contrast, a staggering 94 per cent of consumers who are not using digital payments are aware of it but still don't use it, as they face issues like lack of internet connectivity, limited knowledge, mistrust in online payments and service-related problems. The report added that around 74 per cent of consumers claimed to be using digital payment services for a transaction a family member made. The report said around 41 per cent of merchants claimed to receive less than 25 per cent of their sales through digital payments, around 15 per cent of merchants claimed to receive over 50 per cent of their sales through digital payments. "This shows the potential left to be tapped with respect to increasing the usage of digital payments at the grassroots level," the report said. A total of 2,240 respondents were surveyed for the report, including 1,184 consumers and 1,056 merchants, spread across 16 districts, covering eight states in different geographic zones of the country. The report also said that lack of awareness about digital payments was a crucial finding. Around 46 per cent of merchants had never used digital payments because they were unaware of it. The survey revealed that, on average, around 36 per cent of merchants claimed to be processing over 50 digital payment transactions every month. Also, around 23 per cent of merchants claimed to be processing not more than 1 digital payment transaction every alternate day. Most merchants process digital payment transactions of less than Rs 15,000 every month. Only a handful of merchants claimed to process digital payments of over Rs 1 lakh. The main challenges that hinder the adoption of digital payments were inadequate infrastructure, service-related issues, capacity constraints and lack of trust in digital Payments, it said. "KYC is a vital step in onboarding merchants for using digital payments services. However, the survey discovered that nearly one in three merchants faced difficulties in completing the KYC process due to a lack of requisite documents, capacity constraints and the time taken for onboarding, among other reasons," the report said.

In it, armed security guards aboard what was identified as the Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned Tutor can be seen observing what seems to be the crude-looking naval drone — likely packed with explosives — as it slowly approaches the ship unobstructed.Shortly after the attack was first reported, United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, an element of the British Royal Navy, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ukmto.org/-/media/ukmto/warnings/indian-ocean/2024/jun/ukmto-warning-incident-083-attack-update-003.pdf?rev=4048cdad7a774ab3adf1b59f1b7318b8">described the USV</a> as a "small craft" that was white in color and between 5-7 meters (16-23 feet) in length, matching the description of the drone in the videos. Open-source intelligence accounts also shared photos of the <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/sentdefender/status/1802523101806186762/photo/3">apparent damage</a> caused to the Tutor, revealing a clear puncture in the wall and water inside the vessel. US Central Command said the ship "remains in the Red Sea and is slowly taking on water."Business Insider was unable to immediately verify the footage or images.With the Tutor effectively stranded at sea, the crew was forced to evacuate. On Saturday, a US Navy helicopter airlifted 24 mariners to the guided-missile cruiser USS Philippine Sea. From there, the individuals were then transported to the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, where they were medically checked before being flown to shore.One crew member is still missing, the Navy <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cusnc.navy.mil/Media/News/Display/Article/3808514/us-navy-rescues-crew-from-vessel-struck-by-houthis/">disclosed</a> on Sunday.<div type="image" title="Sailors from the Dwight D.

The Iran-backed rebels also hit the M/V Verbena with multiple anti-ship missiles as the bulk cargo carrier was sailing through the Gulf of Aden. The crew <a target="_blank" href="https://www.centcom.mil/MEDIA/PRESS-RELEASES/Press-Release-View/Article/3808503/june-15-us-central-command-update-on-mv-verbena/">eventually abandoned their vessel</a> due to the damage sustained, marking the second time that's happened in the area in just a matter of days."This continued malign and reckless behavior by the Iranian-backed Houthis threatens regional stability and endangers the lives of mariners across the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden," the US military <a target="_blank" href="https://www.centcom.mil/MEDIA/PRESS-RELEASES/Press-Release-View/Article/3808503/june-15-us-central-command-update-on-mv-verbena/">said</a> on Saturday, adding that it "will continue to act with partners to hold the Houthis accountable and degrade their military capabilities."
