Recent reports indicate escalating maritime tensions as a Ukraine-bound LPG tanker was attacked off the coast of Romania. The Romanian president confirmed that the vessel was struck approximately 20 miles offshore, reportedly due to a suspected Russian attack. The strike resulted in three injuries and a fire on board, leading to the crew abandoning the burning tanker. The incident underscores the rising attacks on shipping in the Black Sea, prompting increased diplomatic responses, including the Indian government summoning the Russian envoy following casualties from the strikes.
