The 'Life Support' reached the port of Augusta on June 29 at 1 p.m., after retrieving the bodies of two migrants in international waters in the Libyan SAR zone on June 27. The ship's captain Augusto Candido said it was the first time that the Life Support had retrieved bodies instead of rescuing people, and it was a very difficult experience for crew members. The alarm was raised on June 26, by the migrant-rescue vessel 'Sea-Watch' after its aircraft Seabird filmed one of the bodies and saw five others in the waters off Libya. It was supposed that a vessel in distress sank unbeknown or that the case was reported but remained without an answer for too many days, or that Libyan coast guards or other Libyans intercepted it and that some people were thrown into the sea so they wouldn't have to be taken back to Libya, Given the advanced decomposition of the bodies, officials couldn't initially determine their gender. It was presumed that they remained at sea for at least a week, given their condition.

One person was killed, and around 35 were injured in an Israeli airstrike on Hodeidah Port on May 5, 2025. The airstrike was in direct retaliation for a missile strike by Yemen's Houthi rebels that landed near Ben Gurion Airport in Israel. Around 20 Israeli fighter jets participated in the airstrike, targeting sites that were being used to support Houthi military activities. The targets included the port of Hodeidah and a cement factory near the port, which has been alleged to be used by the Houthis for the construction of tunnels.

The Russian submarine 'Novorossiysk' was caught sailing west through British waters. The HMS 'Mersey', a Wildcat helicopter from the 815 Naval Air Squadron, and a specialist submarine-hunting Merlin aircraft from 824 Naval Air Squadron were tracking the Kilo class 'Novorossiysk' as it sailed through UK waters along with the Goryn-class tug boat Yakov Grebelski". The British warship and helicopters utilised powerful sensors and systems to watch every move during their voyage. The monitoring responsibilities were passed on to Nato allies after the Russian submarine left UK waters. The operation was regarded as another clear demonstration of the Royal Navy's enduring commitment to safeguarding the United Kingdom's maritime interests. It was the sixth such tasking for the HMS 'Mersey' in the last three months and comes just a week after the patrol ship and fellow Portsmouth ships HMS 'Duncan' and HMS 'Trent' were all activated to watch the Russian frigate 'Admiral Grigorovich' and the corvette 'Boikiy' in UK waters.

A Russian ballistic missile strike on the port of Odessa in southern Ukraine killed four Syrian people and damaged a Barbados-flagged cargo ship, on the evening of June 34, 2025, shortly after Ukraine agreed to a US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with Russia. At the time of the attack, the ship was loading wheat destined for Algeria. Russia thus continued attacking Ukraine's infrastructure, including ports that contribute to global food security.

Drone strikes caused explosions in the of Port Sudan on May 6, 2025. The attack caused a blaze near the maritime port of Port Sudan, causing a massive plume of black smoke.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has published an investigation report into the engine room fire aboard the 'Tarka II' and subsequent sinking on Sep 10, 2024. At 4 p.. the fishing vessel was transiting in the Pacific Ocean about four miles southwest of Tatoosh Island, Washington. AFter the captain discovered the fire in the engine room, the two crew members did not attempt to fight the fire. They abandoned the vessel into a liferaft and were rescued by the US Coast Guard. The vessel later sank with an estimated 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel on board. There were no injuries. The vessel was not recovered and considered a total loss, valued at $460,000. The captain had observed smoke emanating from the sides of the exhaust stacks located just aft of the wheelhouse, likely from engine room vents on or near the main exhaust stacks. When he entered the engine room, he noticed white smoke that smelled like engine exhaust, and he believed there was an exhaust leak. After shutting down the generator and main engine, the captain then noticed a small, smoldering fire on the port side of the engine room near the hydraulic tank and hydraulic pump. Shortly after he observed the fire, the smoke turned black, and the flames intensified. The rapid growth of the fire and black smoke indicated a fuel source ignited, and opening of the engine room door introduced additional oxygen to the fire, further intensifying the fire. The hydraulic lines for the davit were not pressurized at the time of the fire. However, the steering system’s hydraulic lines (pipes and hoses) were pressurized. The captain noted that hydraulic lines ran inches from the engine exhaust pipes, which were protected by fiberglass lagging. Investigators were unable to verify the condition or arrangement of the exhaust lagging in the engine room because the vessel sank and there were no photos available of the engine room before the fire. The smoke initially looked and smelled like engine exhaust. It is possible that exhaust pipe heat, or an exhaust leak, either from the main engine or the running no. 1 auxiliary generator, ruptured one of the pressurized hydraulic lines, causing the hydraulic fluid to spray and ignite on a nearby, unprotected hot surface, and spread to nearby combustibles. However, because the Tarka II sank and was not recovered, the exact source of the fire could not be determined. The captain had no indication of the fire before he saw smoke coming from the sides of the vessel’s exhaust stacks. The engine room was equipped with a CCTV camera that displayed on a monitor in the wheelhouse, but it was not in use at the time of the fire. Additionally, there were no smoke or fire detectors installed in the engine room, nor were any required. The two smoke detectors on board were located just outside of the engine room door and in the galley, and they only activated after the captain opened the engine room door to investigate the smoke. It was unknown how long the fire had been burning before the captain noticed smoke; however, had the engine room CCTV system been on or had smoke or fire detectors been installed in the engine room, the captain would have likely been alerted to the fire sooner. The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the probable cause of the fire aboard the 'Tarka II' was an unknown source within the engine room.

A large-scale overnight drone strike by Ukraine struck Novorossiysk on May 3, 2025. damaging the country’s largest grain terminal and several apartment buildings.The attack triggered fires and forced authorities to declare a state of emergency in the port city, which is also home to the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Local authorities in Russia’s southern Krasnodar Krai confirmed that drones damaged three grain storage reservoirs at the KSK terminal, one of the region’s most important export facilities. The attack sparked a fire at the site. The terminal, which can store up to 220,000 tons of grain and handled over 10 million tons in 2024, is operated by the Moscow-based Delo Group.Delo Group, which assured that the terminal was continuing to function in line with internal procedures and guidance from authorities. Drone strikes had also caused fires in nearby areas, including Taman and Anapa. Russian electronic warfare systems had jammed the drones, causing them to fall into residential areas. Public transportation in Novorossiysk was suspended after the strikes, Drones also targeted the Rostov Oblast.
