Indian crew safe after Black Sea vessel attack kills 2 foreigners

Three Indian nationals are safe after their vessel, MV ROYAD MAMMADOV, was attacked in the Black Sea, while two foreign crew members were killed and others injured, India's embassy in Romania confirmed Monday. The injured crew, including one Indian, are receiving medical treatment at Constanța County Hospital, with the Indian ambassador speaking directly to them and hospital officials. The embassy is in contact with authorities to determine attack details and ensure crew welfare. The incident follows heightened security risks in global maritime corridors, with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar recently condemning attacks on commercial shipping and seafarers at the UN General Assembly, urging restraint and adherence to international law.
