Serious incident off the coast of Romania! Grain ship hit by drone, two people killed and several others injured

Two people have died and over 10 others have been injured after a ship carrying grain caught fire in the Black Sea on Monday afternoon, outside Romania's territorial waters.

According to Reuters, citing Romanian authorities, the injured were crew members of the Royal Mammadov ship, which Romanian media, including Digi24, report is a Turkish-flagged vessel.

The ship was hit by one or two drones, Romania's PRO TV News reported, but the source of the flames has not been confirmed by Romanian authorities.

The incident comes at a time when countries along Europe's eastern flank, including Romania, a NATO member, continue to be overwhelmed by unmanned aerial vehicles, many of them originating from Russia. Turkey is also a NATO member.

In August, a fighter jet shot down a naval drone packed with explosives near Europe's largest offshore gas project in the Black Sea. This came hours after another drone entered Romanian airspace and crashed near the Ukrainian border.

Romania's President, Nicușor Dan, later blamed Russia for the incident and condemned what he called an escalation of "irresponsible incidents" by Moscow.
