Black Sea: Sofia: Another drone attack on ships in the Black Sea
Off the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, ships are being attacked again. The government in Sofia suspects Russia; the ambassador has been summoned. Bulgaria is meanwhile hoping for support from Brussels.
Two merchant ships have been attacked with drones in the Black Sea off the coast of Bulgaria, according to the government in Sofia. The incidents occurred in the country's exclusive economic zone and near its territorial waters, with one Ukrainian ship, the "Chelsea 3", being hit by three drones and 15 crew members rescued, and another ship being sunk with one crew member rescued.
Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radew condemned the attacks as "absolutely unacceptable" and announced plans to request technical help from the EU and NATO to investigate. He also plans to summon Russian Ambassador Eleonora Mitrofanowa for a conversation.
