India summons senior Russian diplomat over killing of four Indian ship crew

India said the strike on MV Golden Leo killed four Indian crew members and left one other critically injured, while it condemned attacks on commercial shipping.

  • On Tuesday, the Ministry of External Affairs summoned Russian Charge d'Affaires Vladimir Ladanov to express "grave concerns" over the missile strike on commercial vessel Golden Leo that killed four Indian nationals.
  • Struck by three cruise missiles on Sunday while departing Odesa, Ukraine, the Guinea-Bissau-flagged cargo ship suffered 10 total fatalities, including four Indian crew members.
  • Mumbai-Based Ocean Grace Shipping Ltd owned the vessel, which carried 17 crew members including five Indian nationals; one additional Indian crew member remains critically injured following the strike.
  • The MEA conveyed "unequivocal condemnation" of the attack, asserting that targeting commercial shipping is "unacceptable" and demanding Moscow ensure the safety and stability of international maritime commerce.
  • Russia did not immediately respond to the incident, which mirrors previous maritime protests India lodged with the United States and Iran over seafarer losses.
