India and Liberia on Thursday strongly condemned the recent attacks on commercial ships and seafarers in the Gulf and the Black Sea, calling them "unacceptable" and seeking an immediate end to such strikes in the interest of peace and stability in the region.

该声明发布时，地区内商船遭受了一系列袭击。周三，外交部谴责了在黑海被攻击的多哥旗阿尔法·瓦坦号、帕劳旗阿贝尔号以及利比里亚旗阿弗拉马克·里奥号。
The statement came amid a series of attacks on commercial vessels in the region. On Wednesday, the Ministry of External Affairs condemned attacks on the Togo-flagged Alfa Watan, Palau-flagged Able and Liberia-flagged Aframax Rio in the Black Sea.
“Able”号船上的18名船员中有7名是印度公民，其中1人受伤。本周早些时候，悬挂巴拿马旗的商船“MT On Peace”号在经过阿曼海岸附近的霍尔木兹海峡时遭弹丸击中。该船19名船员中有17名是印度公民。12名船员受伤，其中包括11名印度人。在阿曼当局的协助下，受伤船员已被撤离，正在阿曼哈萨卜接受医疗救治。印度和利比里亚在谴责波斯湾和黑海发生的最新袭击事件时表示，针对商船和海员的袭击必须立即停止，并呼吁加强协调以保护海上贸易和海员安全。
Seven of the 18 crew members aboard the Able are Indian nationals, and one of them was injured. Earlier this week, the Panama-flagged commercial vessel MT On Peace was hit by a projectile while passing through the Strait of Hormuz off the coast of Oman. Seventeen of the vessel's 19 crew members are Indian nationals. Twelve crew members, including 11 Indians, were injured. With the help of Omani authorities, the injured crew members were evacuated and are receiving medical treatment in Khasab, Oman. India and Liberia, while condemning the latest attacks in the Gulf and the Black Sea, said such strikes on commercial shipping and seafarers must stop immediately, and called for closer coordination to protect maritime trade and seafarers.
