A ship caught fire in Romanian waters in the Black Sea, authorities say, and are investigating whether drones may have been involved.
The incident occurred within Romania’s territorial waters, though details about the vessel and the exact time of the blaze have not yet been released by officials.
Romanian maritime authorities are conducting an inquiry into the cause of the fire, with a particular focus on the possibility that a drone strike could have triggered the incident.
The blaze comes amid a series of recent attacks on shipping in the Black Sea, a region that has seen a rise in maritime security incidents in recent months.
Further information, including any impact on crew or cargo, is expected as the investigation continues.
