NICULESCU: THREE SHIPS IN THE BLACK SEA HIT BY DRONES

BUCHAREST, NOVEMBER 15 /SRNA/ - Romanian Prime Minister Luca Niculescu said that three commercial vessels had been hit by drones in the Black Sea near the Danube Delta, off Sulina.


"I am in constant contact with the relevant authorities, and the safety of seafarers is our absolute priority," Niculescu said.

In a social media post, Niculescu said the attacks had taken place last night, noting that the security situation in the Black Sea was deteriorating due to the war in Ukraine.

He said that Romania, together with its regional partners and NATO allies, would continue to take measures to protect vessels and strengthen security in the Black Sea, the Baha news portal reported.
