Cargo Ship Carrying Indian And Azerbaijani Crew Sinks In Black Sea After Drone Strike, 2 Killed
Romania said 11 crew members were rescued and three were injured as Black Sea shipping faces rising wartime attacks, according to maritime groups.
- On Monday, October 5, two crew members died and 11 were rescued after the Turkish-owned Royad Mammadov sank in the Black Sea. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed two Russian drones struck the vessel transporting corn to Italy.
- The 139-metre cargo ship was sailing 30 nautical miles south of Sfantu Gheorghe when attacked in Romania's exclusive economic zone. The Constanta Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre coordinated the multi-agency response.
- Of the 11 rescued, three crew members sustained injuries while eight remained in good condition, according to Romanian Naval Authority spokesperson Irina Puscasu. Romanian Coast Guard officials worked with a General Aviation Inspectorate helicopter.
- Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan described the attacks as "unacceptable." The Turkish Chamber of Maritime Commerce reported last month that 226 civilian and commercial vessels have been attacked in the Black Sea since the war began.
- Maritime risk company Ambrey reported that detected floating objects in the Black Sea have more than doubled over six months amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Romanian President Nicusor Dan blamed Russia for the incident.
