Bulgaria will summon Russia’s ambassador to Sofia after two ships were struck by drones near Bulgarian territorial waters, Prime Minister Rumen Radev said. Chelsea 3, a Ukrainian-owned cargo vessel flying the Maltese flag, was hit around 01:30 a.m. Tuesday, 18 nautical miles off the coast near Byala. Crew members reported attacks by three aerial drones but were all rescued.
Another vessel sank 17 nautical miles from the village of Krapets. Radev stated there is no solid evidence to accuse any specific party, but noted the outcome appears to benefit the Russian Federation.
