Summary

In the early hours of Oct. 13, the cargo ship HS Dignity was struck by sea drones in the Black Sea, causing it to sink. The 16-man crew, consisting of Syrian and Egyptian nationals, had to abandon ship. At least 31 seafarers have been killed or are missing in similar attacks in the region. The incident has led to a halt in much of the traffic through the key shipping corridor and prompted NATO to increase maritime security.
