What happened

ABC, carrying AP/Reuters reporting, identifies Wine Trader as a San Marino-flagged tanker involved in the 15 October fire near Sulina. Five of 12 crew were rescued and seven remained missing; missing people are not confirmed dead. Romania’s president said drones struck Wine Trader and Yara J, without identifying the attacker. Earlier reporting used the name Wide Trader and listed eight missing; this entry retains its existing URL while correcting the displayed name and count. Cargo, pollution and final vessel condition remain unresolved. The marker is a Sulina coastal reference, not a verified ship position.
