Search and rescue operation launched after cargo ship fire off Romania's coast
A cargo ship caught fire off the coast of Romania, leading to a search and rescue operation in the Black Sea that has resulted in one death and three crew members still missing. The Romanian Naval Authority identified the vessel as the Khoryv, a Comoros-flagged cargo ship, which had ten Ukrainian and three Azerbaijani crew members on board. Ten of the 13 crew members were rescued by another vessel, but adverse weather and poor visibility have hindered further rescue efforts. The cause of the fire remains unknown, although local media suggest it may be linked to recent drone attacks in the region, raising concerns about the ongoing conflict related to the Russia-Ukraine war.
