On Monday, the Embassy of India in Romania reported that a commercial vessel carrying three Indian nationals was attacked in the Black Sea. The embassy confirmed that all three Indians were safe, with one of them receiving medical attention. Two foreign nationals lost their lives in the incident, while several crew members were injured and taken to Romania for medical treatment.
Eleven other crew members were rescued, including Azerbaijani and Indian citizens. Indian Ambassador to Romania, Manoj Mohapatra, spoke with the three Indian nationals in Constanța County Hospital, expressing his assurance of all possible assistance and support for their welfare.
