Another cargo ship was hit by a drone attack near the Romanian coast of the Black Sea, one person has died

A cargo ship was attacked by a drone in the Black Sea near Romania, resulting in one death and three missing crew members. The Khoryv tanker, flagged under Comoros, was en route from Turkey to Romania when it was struck, causing a fire and subsequent sinking. This incident marks the third such attack in recent weeks, with a total of 11 commercial vessels reportedly targeted since the start of the Ukraine war. Romanian authorities are concerned about the implications for maritime safety and regional security, as the attacks occur in international waters close to Romania's exclusive economic zone. The Romanian government is collaborating with NATO allies to enhance surveillance capabilities in response to these threats.
