"Ukraine Ship Blast: Romania Investigates Black Sea Explosion"

An explosion occurred on a ship sailing to Ukraine near Romania, prompting authorities to search for possible mines. The ship, flying the flag of Togo, was waiting to use the Ukrainian Bystroe Canal when the blast occurred. The Romanian Naval Authority stated that there are no indications of a mine attack. The Danube Delta has become a crucial route for boats to reach or leave Ukraine due to Russia's naval blockade. Meanwhile, Iran's president accused the US of fueling bloodshed in Ukraine, denying accusations of Iranian involvement in aiding Russia's campaign. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is set to address the UN Security Council, facing Russia for the first time since the war began. Additionally, eight people died in a Russian strike against Kupiansk, and Russian forces are preparing to renew their attacks in the region.
