3 Indians safe after Black Sea vessel attack; one injured in Romania

Three Indian nationals aboard the MV Royad Mammadov are safe after the vessel was attacked in the Black Sea, with one injured and receiving medical treatment in Romania. Two foreign nationals were killed in the incident. The Indian Embassy confirmed the crew members' safety, and Ambassador Manoj Mohapatra visited them at Constanța County Hospital. Romanian authorities reported two deaths and 11 rescues after the 139-metre ship caught fire and sank south of Sfantu Gheorghe. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blamed Russia for a drone strike on the civilian vessel. The attack follows India's recent concerns at the UN about threats to commercial shipping in the Black Sea, Red Sea, and Gulf regions.
