Highly Volatile: India Issues Black Sea Advisory After Strike in Ukraine's Odesa The Indian government has issued a stark warning to its citizens, advising them to exercise extreme caution when traveling through or working on commercial vessels in the Black Sea.
The move comes after a recent strike at Ukraine's Port of Odesa left several seafarers dead. Since April 2026, five Indian sailors have lost their lives in the region.
Commercial vessels operating in these waters are being hit by missile and drone attacks, making it increasingly difficult for seafarers to navigate safely.
