All nine Indian seafarers aboard chemical tanker YARA J safe in Romania: Embassy
All nine Indian seafarers aboard the chemical tanker YARA J have been confirmed safe and are currently in Romania, according to the Indian embassy. The vessel had faced incidents in the Black Sea region.
On October 7, India's Ministry of External Affairs strongly condemned assaults targeting commercial vessels in the Black Sea corridor, highlighting concerns over maritime security in the region.
The confirmation of the crew's safety comes as relief following reports of attacks on merchant vessels transiting through contested waters. Indian maritime authorities and the embassy coordinated to ensure the welfare and safe location of Indian nationals at sea.
