Summary

A fire broke out on the Turkish-flagged cargo vessel MV Royad Mammadov in the Black Sea near Romania on October 5, 2026. Two foreign seafarers died and several crew members were injured, including three Indian nationals. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attributed the incident to a Russian drone attack; Romania's interior ministry has not confirmed the cause. Romanian authorities conducted a rescue operation that saved 11 crew members. The three Indian crew members aboard are reported stable by Indian Embassy officials in Romania, though one was hospitalized and injured. The vessel was carrying Ukrainian grain bound for Italy when the incident occurred approximately 20 nautical miles from the Romanian coast.
