Indian mariners missing in the Black Sea

Overview

Two Indian crew members of the cargo ship AGN Ragnar went missing in the Black Sea near Sulina after jumping overboard due to fears of a drone strike. The vessel was traveling from Odesa, Ukraine, to Galaţi, Romania.

Romanian authorities, including the Maritime Rescue Service and Border Police, launched search operations coordinated by the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre. While two other Indian crew members on the ship were confirmed safe, the search for the missing individuals continued pending weather and visibility conditions.
