According to obtained information, all three Azerbaijani citizens included in the 13-member crew of the foreign cargo vessel “KHORYV”, which came under a drone attack off the coast of Romania, have been rescued.

He noted that one of them, Rufan Khaliq oglu Ahmadov (born in 1992), who sustained minor injuries, underwent a medical examination and was accommodated in a hotel.

Necessary measures are being taken to provide consular support to our citizens. We once again call upon Azerbaijani citizens to refrain from traveling to regions where military operations are ongoing and the security situation remains unstable, as well as from engaging in labor activities aboard vehicles operating along risky routes, particularly vessels in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov waters,” stated Aykhan Hajizada.
