Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev has summoned the Russian ambassador after two merchant ships were struck by drones off Bulgaria’s Black Sea coast and one of them sank.
Six crew members on the Guinea-Bissau-flagged HS Dignity were rescued and 10 others are missing, according to Defence Minister Dimitar Stoyanov, after it went down 17 nautical miles (31km) east of the village of Krapets having sent a distress signal.
The other ship, the Ukrainian owned Chelsea-3, was hit by drones 18 nautical miles from the town of Byala and all 15 crew were rescued.
The attacks come a week after two other commercial ships were hit by sea and aerial drones in Bulgaria’s exclusive economic zone.
One of the ships, the Alfa Watan, sank and all 10 crew, including nine Syrians, are presumed dead.
