AI GeneratedTwo ships were struck by drones off the coast of Bulgaria in the Black Sea, marking the second such incident in two weeks. A Ukraine-owned cargo ship was hit by three drones, and a second vessel subsequently sank. Prime Minister Rumen Radev has condemned the attacks as unacceptable and intends to summon the Russian ambassador for discussions.
Two ships have been struck off the coast of Bulgaria,
one of them by drones,
according to Prime Minister Rumen Radev.
The incident follows a similar one from just one
week ago when drones struck commercial vessels near
the Balkan country's coast in the Black Sea.
Radev detailed that a Ukraine-owned cargo ship
was hit by three aerial drones,
and shortly after, another ship was hit and sank.
The Bulgarian premier also said he plans to summon
and the Russian ambassador over the attacks he called.
This is absolutely unacceptable, another attack
in the immediate vicinity of the Bulgarian territorial waters.
We do not have solid and clear evidence to prove
the accusation to which it is from the parties.
But the logic of the case, I also stated it,
is that the result is in favor of the Russian Federation.
That is why today I will call for a
conversation with Ambassador Mitrofano.
Radev identified the first vessel as the Malta-flag
cargo ship named Chelsea 3 and said all 15 crew members,
7 Ukrainians and 8 Azerbaijanis had been rescued.
He added that a second vessel was struck and one crew member had
been rescued, but gave no further details of the incident.
