- A Liberian-flagged vessel, the LPG Gas Lisbon, was struck off Romania's coast, an incident Romanian president Nicusor Dan attributed to Russia's war on Ukraine.
- The attack occurred approximately 20 nautical miles outside Romanian territorial waters, resulting in three injured crew members who were subsequently evacuated by Romanian rescuers.
- A tugboat was dispatched to secure the vessel and prevent it from drifting, with Romanian authorities investigating the "serious incident" as likely part of Russia's aggression.
- The incident follows repeated breaches of Romanian airspace and territorial waters by Russian and Ukrainian drones throughout the current year.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated Russia would continue striking vessels supplying Ukraine's military, following a previous attack on the Golden Leo ship leaving Odesa which caused Indian casualties.
