Black Sea and Danube, the world's most dangerous maritime route: "It's a new phase of the war" (LINK) 11 November 2026
— Mundo America: Andrej Klimenko, director of the Strategic Research Institute dedicated to the Black Sea, states it "has become the most dangerous maritime route in the world," resulting in more fatalities among crew members than any other route in the world, such as Hormuz or the Yemeni coast. According to the maritime security firm Ambrey, over 570 ships have suffered attacks in this area in 2026, resulting in at least 40 sailors' deaths, compared to 24 who have died in Hormuz. These recurring incidents are merely an extension of the offensive that Russia launched against the Odesa region starting last July, particularly targeting the port facilities in that area, which forced Ukraine to suspend all its maritime exports. Kiev retaliated by attacking Russian port enclaves in the same area, also causing a significant reduction in the traffic of freighters destined for those locations. On October 28, the crisis reached a new turning point when the Liberian-flagged vessel 'Contship Jet' was rammed by three unmanned marine vehicles.
