The cargo ship Khoryv has capsized and sunk in the Black Sea, about 13 nautical miles off Romania's coast, following a drone strike. A Ukrainian sailor was killed in the incident. Romania's president has blamed Russia for the attack.
Nine crew members have been rescued, while three are still missing.
A wave of attacks in the Black Sea
The incident adds to a series of attacks that threaten shipping in the Black Sea and Ukraine's export routes. Because Ukraine's exports depend on these sea lanes, attacks on vessels also affect trade.
