India summons Russian diplomat over killing of crew on Indian ship

# India has summoned a senior Russian diplomat ‌after a missile strike killed four Indians on a Black Sea cargo ship leaving a port in Ukraine. The Golden Leo was hit by three cruise missiles on Sunday, killing the Indians and six others. India’s Ministry of External Affairs asked Russia’s chargé d’affaires to convey India’s strong concerns and tell them the targeting of commercial shipping and the resulting loss of civilian lives was unacceptable. India says such attacks undermine ⁠the safety, security, and stability of international maritime commerce.
