Kremlin says 'in touch' with New Delhi after 4 Indians killed in Ukraine ship strike
Russia said it is 'in touch' with New Delhi after four Indians were killed on board a merchant vessel off the coast of Ukraine.
Kyiv claimed Russia struck the Golden Leo, a Guinea-Bissau-flagged ship with crew from India and Syria, with three cruise missiles, killing 10 people.
India summoned the Russian chargé d'affaires and strongly condemned the strike, calling attacks on commercial shipping unacceptable.
The Ministry of External Affairs confirmed four Indian nationals died and one is hospitalized in critical condition.
One victim was identified as 26-year-old merchant navy officer Akhil Joyan from Kerala's Kasaragod district.
