Indian seafarer killed in attack on merchant vessel in Black Sea

India's Ministry of External Affairs has formally disputed Russian claims regarding the cargo of the MV Golden Leo, asserting it carried grain, not weapons, following a fatal attack. This diplomatic friction coincides with the confirmed death of an Indian national on the MV Omorfi in the Black Sea, escalating maritime risk for civilian vessels in the region. The specific perpetrators and weapon systems for both incidents remain unconfirmed.
