Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev said today (13th) that two ships were attacked by drones on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast, and one of them sank. The Russian ambassador to Bulgaria will be summoned for this.
"Reuters" reported that Radev stated that in the two ship attacks, Bulgaria rescued a crew member from the sunken ship. The other ship that was attacked was the Ukrainian-owned "Chelsea 3" flying the Maltese flag.
Radev pointed out that Chelsea 3 was attacked and damaged by three drones at about 1:30 a.m. local time, about 33 kilometers away from the Bulgarian coast. All 7 Ukrainian and 8 Azerbaijani crew members on board were rescued, and 5 of them received medical assistance. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.
Radev added that he would have a call with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte to discuss the incident. Due to the current lack of evidence, it is difficult to determine which force launched the attack, but because the result is beneficial to Russia, he will also summon the Russian ambassador.
