The Black Sea has become the most dangerous in the world for commercial shipping. Since the beginning of 2026, there have been more than 570 attacks on ships in the Black Sea, resulting in the death of at least 40 sailors. The "Financial Times" writes about it. About 90% of the attacks during the last 45 days were carried out by Russia. The Black Sea has become more dangerous than the Persian Gulf: the number of attacks on ships here is higher than six. One of the latest cases is an attack on the cargo ship Khorib with a Ukrainian and Azerbaijani crew. On October 23, a fire started on a ship off the coast of Romania, after which it sank. One sailor was killed, three more are missing. The President of Romania said that Russia attacked the ship with a UAV.
