Two merchant vessels hit overnight in Bulgaria’s Black Sea exclusive economic zone. One sank 17 nautical miles east of Krapets. Five crew rescued, eleven still missing. Identified in some reports as Guinea-Bissau-flagged HS Dignity or Turkish-owned Azov Concorde. Second vessel, Maltese-flagged Chelsea 3 (Ukrainian-owned, registered Odesa), hit by three drones near Byala. All 15 crew (seven Ukrainian, eight Azerbaijani) rescued with minor injuries. Vessel towed to Varna. Second such attack in six days. Week earlier Alfa Watan sank with all ten crew presumed dead. Prime Minister Rumen Radev: no conclusive evidence but outcome benefits Russia. Summoned ambassador Eleonora Mitrofanova. Spoke to NATO’s Rutte. Ukrainian foreign minister called it deliberate disregard for civilian lives and maritime security.
