For the second consecutive night, drones targeted foreign commercial vessels near the Romanian coast, with three ships attacked. One tanker, carrying nearly 6,000 tons of diesel, caught fire, and crew members struggled to extinguish the flames. The incidents occurred close to the Danube mouths, prompting authorities to declare the area dangerous for navigation. The Romanian Defense Minister plans discussions in Brussels regarding threats in the Black Sea, seeking more surveillance aircraft and anti-drone equipment. Analysts warn that such attacks may continue as part of Russia's strategy to economically suffocate Ukraine, with over 500 vessels hit in the past year.
