布加勒斯特11月15日电——总理卢卡·尼库莱斯库周日表示，无人机袭击了黑海罗马尼亚苏利纳运河附近的3艘商船，并补充说其武装部队已两次紧急出动战斗机。
BUCHAREST, Nov 15 - Drones have struck three commercial ships in the Black Sea near Romania's Sulina canal, Prime Minister Luca Niculescu said on Sunday, adding that his armed forces had scrambled fighter jets twice.
国防部长斯特凡·拉杜·奥普雷亚表示，袭击没有造成人员伤亡，周六晚些时候袭击发生后，船员已成功控制了船上的火势。
Defence Minister Stefan Radu Oprea said there were no casualties and that the ships' crews had managed to control the fires on board after the strikes late on Saturday.
针对北约成员国罗马尼亚和保加利亚附近商船的一系列致命袭击不断增多，这表明俄罗斯与乌克兰之间不断升级的海上战争正在黑海扩大，成为横跨大西洋联盟的一项重大挑战。
A growing series of deadly strikes on merchant ships near NATO members Romania and Bulgaria shows how the escalating maritime war between Russia and Ukraine is expanding into a major challenge for the transatlantic alliance in the Black Sea.
苏利纳运河是罗马尼亚的一条关键航运水道，它将多瑙河与黑海连接起来，并被乌克兰用于出口。
The Sulina canal is a key Romanian shipping lane which links the Danube river to the Black Sea and is used by Ukraine for exports.
罗马尼亚官员没有指明无人机的来源，但表示这是俄罗斯在乌克兰战争的直接后果。
Romanian officials did not identify the origin of the drones but said they were a direct consequence of Russia's war in Ukraine.
尼库莱斯库表示：“这些事件是不可接受的，构成了对国际法的违反。它们反映了俄罗斯对乌克兰持续战争所造成不断恶化的安全形势。”俄罗斯否认用无人机把乌克兰邻国作为袭击目标。
"These incidents are unacceptable and constitute a violation of international law," Niculescu said. "They reflect the deteriorating security situation caused by Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine." Russia has denied targeting Ukraine's neighbours with drones.
奥普雷亚表示，遭到袭击的三艘船只分别为悬挂希腊国旗的“埃维亚石油V”号油轮和化学品船、悬挂圣基茨和尼维斯国旗的散货船“马尔索尔”号以及同挂该国国旗的成品油轮“阿里·纳贾夫”号。
Oprea said the three struck ships were Greek-flagged oil and chemical tanker Evia Petrol V, bulk carrier Marsol and oil products tanker Ali Najafov, both under the flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis.
国防部表示，“埃维亚石油V”号和“马尔索尔”号在苏利纳运河东南4海里和5海里处遭到袭击，地点位于罗马尼亚领海内。
Evia Petrol V and Marsol were struck 4 and 5 nautical miles southeast of the Sulina canal, the defence ministry said, inside Romanian territorial waters.
奥普雷亚表示，周五晚些时候，另一艘杂货船被无人机击中，同样没有人员伤亡。私营电视台Digi24称该船为悬挂帕劳国旗的“拉里萨1”号杂货船。
Oprea said a separate general cargo ship was hit by a drone late on Friday, also with no casualties. Private television station Digi24 said the vessel was Palau-flagged general cargo ship Larissa 1.
奥普雷亚表示：“周二和周三我将在布鲁塞尔出席同僚（国防）部长会议。”
"On Tuesday and Wednesday I will be in Brussels for the meeting with my fellow (defence) ministers," Oprea said.
“我们需要盟友的团结，这种团结要通过配备侦察机的巡航以及反无人机作战装备来体现。”在罗马尼亚请求增援后，法国曾临时将“大西洋2”号海上巡逻机重新部署至罗马尼亚。
"We need the solidarity of our allies, shown through patrols with surveillance aircraft and through equipment for counter-drone warfare." France temporarily relocated the Atlantique 2 maritime patrols aircraft to Romania after it asked for reinforcement.
10月和11月遭到袭击的许多船只都停泊在苏利纳运河附近，或者正在驶向或驶离该运河。
Many of the ships hit in October and November were anchored near or sailing to or from the Sulina canal.
