Bulgaria PM Suspects Russia After Drone Attacks Hit Black Sea Ships
Two merchant vessels were reportedly struck by unmanned aerial vehicles off the Bulgarian coast, with one identified as the Ukrainian-owned Chelsea 3 sustaining damage.
Bulgaria's prime minister has expressed suspicion that Russia was behind recent drone attacks that struck two merchant ships in the Black Sea off the country's coast. The incidents have prompted a formal diplomatic response from Sofia, with the Russian ambassador being summoned for clarification.
According to the prime minister's statement, two commercial vessels were targeted by unmanned aerial vehicles. One of the ships involved in the attack has been identified as the Ukrainian-owned Chelsea 3, which reportedly sustained damage as a result of the drone strike.
The specific details surrounding the attacks, including the exact location and extent of the damage to the second vessel, were not immediately available. However, the Bulgarian government has taken the matter seriously, initiating diplomatic channels by summoning Russia's envoy to the country.
The Black Sea region has been a focal point of geopolitical tensions, particularly since the ongoing conflict involving Ukraine. Maritime activity in the area has faced heightened risks, and incidents involving commercial shipping are closely monitored by international observers.
The Bulgarian prime minister's direct accusation against Russia underscores the gravity with which the attacks are being viewed by Sofia, suggesting a potential escalation of concerns regarding maritime security in the vital waterway.
