All three Azerbaijani citizens aboard the foreign cargo ship KHORYV were rescued after a drone attack. According to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, the attack took place on 23 October, 13 nautical miles from the Romanian port of Constanța.
Aykhan Hajizada, head of the press service of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, said that all three Azerbaijani citizens were rescued from the crew of 13. According to him, one of them, Rufen Akhmedov, born in 1992, received minor injuries. He underwent a medical examination and was accommodated in a hotel.
According to the Foreign Ministry, coordination of actions is being carried out jointly with the Azerbaijani embassy in Romania and the country's competent authorities. Necessary measures are being taken to provide consular assistance to Azerbaijani citizens.
Hajizada again called on Azerbaijani citizens to refrain from travel to areas of military operations and locations with an unstable situation. He urged them to avoid work on such areas and on transport vessels that travel along routes of heightened risk, particularly in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
Reports say a cargo ship was set on fire in the Black Sea off the Romanian coast. According to these data, Romanian naval and military forces received a signal of an attack at 10:00. There were 13 people on board: 10 citizens of Ukraine and 3 citizens of Azerbaijan.
