A commercial ship carrying coal from the United States to Ukraine was damaged in the Black Sea within Romania's exclusive economic zone, authorities said on Friday.
The incident involving the Liberian-flagged vessel [Christiana B](en.wikipedia.org) occurred in the night from Thursday to Friday, approximately 22 nautical miles southeast of the Romanian locality of Sfântu Gheorghe, according to the Department for Emergency Situations (DSU).
The crew of the Christiana B reported damage to the ship and initially considered evacuating, but later confirmed there were no injuries and no need for evacuation. The ship is able to continue to the shore for technical checks and repairs, the DSU said.
Romanian authorities responded by sending two rescue ships, SAR Apollo and SAR Artemis, and a helicopter from the General Inspectorate of Aviation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to assess the situation. Preliminary evaluations suggest the damage to the ship's hold number 6 may have been caused by the impact with a maritime drone or the explosion of a sea mine.
The incident is the latest in a series of attacks on civilian shipping in the Black Sea. On Monday, a Liberian-flagged tanker carrying propane from Egypt to Ukraine was hit near the Romanian coast, injuring three crew members.
Shipping companies have begun suspending services to Ukrainian Black Sea ports due to mounting security concerns following Russian attacks on the coast. Between June 20 and July 20, Russian forces attacked 28 civilian vessels in the Black Sea, killing 21 people, according to regional prosecutors.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha and his Polish counterpart Radosław Sikorski discussed the escalating attacks on Thursday, emphasizing the threat to global food supplies. "We discussed Russia’s intensified attacks on civilian vessels in the Black Sea and the implications of this terror for global food security," Sybiha wrote on X.
The European Union has imposed new sanctions on Russia, targeting its energy, financial, and cryptocurrency sectors, and adding 218 individuals and entities to its sanctions list. The measures were formally approved on Thursday.
Sybiha described the sanctions package as a decision Ukraine had been waiting for and stressed the need to continue increasing economic pressure on Moscow. The two foreign ministers also discussed Ukraine’s progress toward EU membership.
Romanian authorities continue to monitor the situation and maintain operational cooperation among all relevant structures to provide necessary support and adopt appropriate measures.
