Volatile Waters: India's Black Sea Advisory a Warning to Nations Worldwide India's Ministry of External Affairs has issued an advisory warning its citizens against accepting employment on commercial vessels operating in or transiting the Black Sea region.
This move comes after a series of attacks on merchant ships in the conflict hit area, resulting in the deaths of at least five Indian nationals since April 2026.
The Black Sea is a critical waterway for international trade, connecting Europe to Asia and the Middle East through strategic routes.
