13 Indian seafarers trapped in Ukraine port amid missile attacks
Thirteen Indian seafarers, among 15 sailors, are reportedly trapped in a "terrible and life-threatening situation" at Ukraine's Chornomorsk port in the Black Sea due to ongoing missile and drone attacks. The Forward Seamen's Union of India (FSUI) has appealed for urgent intervention to secure their safety and arrange prompt repatriation. This appeal follows a recent incident where a Palau-flagged cargo ship, AGN RAGNAR, was attacked by drones while exiting the Danube river, resulting in two Indian nationals going missing after jumping overboard.
