LONDON (Reuters) - A Moldovan-flagged chemical tanker was hit by a missile on Friday near the port of Odessa, Ukraine, amid Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, seriously injuring two crew members, an official from Moldova's naval agency said.

"We just heard 10 minutes ago that the entire crew was rescued, but two were seriously injured and are on their way to the hospital," Vadim Pavalachi, deputy director of the Moldovan naval agency, told Reuters.
