Romanian authorities confirm two deaths and eleven rescues, while Ukraine attributes the incident to Russian drones. Turkey is seeking an agreement to halt attacks on commercial vessels, drawing on its experience brokering the Black Sea Grain Initiative with the United Nations.

Eastern Express examines Turkey’s mediation efforts, the latest sinking, and what a workable agreement would need to protect shipping.
