Još dva broda pogođena su dronovima kod obale Bugarske, samo tjedan dana nakon što je već došlo do sličnog incidenta. Vijest je potvrdio bugarski premijer Rumen Radev, navodeći na društvenim mrežama da je teretni brod “pogođen s tri drona”, a nedugo nakon toga pogođen je i potonuo još jedan brod.

Rekao je da namjerava pozvati ruskog veleposlanika zbog “neprihvatljivih” napada.

🇧🇬🇷🇺 Drones hit two ships in the Black Sea off Bulgaria’s coast, sinking one and damaging the other, with at least twelve crew members injured.

Calls are now growing for NATO intervention and tougher action against Russia, despite the incident occurring outside Bulgaria’s territorial waters.

Former European Parliament member Aleksandar Yordanov demanded Russia’s complete isolation, calling for reduced diplomatic ties with Moscow.

At the same time, Fmr. Deputy Defense Minister Yordan Bozhilov urged Bulgaria and Romania to consult NATO, while other defense experts call for stronger military defenses and greater alliance involvement.

Although the drones’ origins remain unconfirmed, Bulgarian officials have blamed Russia, raising the prospect of a wider diplomatic confrontation over security in the Black Sea.

“Nedostaju nam čvrsti, jasni dokazi za podizanje optužbi protiv bilo koje određene strane. Međutim…logika sugerira da ishod ide u korist Ruske Federacije“, napisao je.

Radev je identificirao prvi brod kao teretni brod Chelsea 3 pod malteškom zastavom i rekao da je spašeno svih 15 članova posade, sedam Ukrajinaca i osam Azerbajdžanaca. Rekao je da je drugi brod “pogođen” i da je jedan član posade spašen, ali nije dao daljnje detalje o incidentu.

Ukrajinski ministar vanjskih poslova Andrii Sybiha izravno je okrivio Rusiju za napade, osuđujući ono što je nazvao “namjernim zanemarivanjem života civila i pomorske sigurnosti u Crnom moru” od strane Moskve.

🇧🇬 “Logic suggests Russia may be involved.” Bulgaria summons the Russian ambassador

Following the attacks on ships in the Black Sea, Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev said he would be speaking with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

Bulgaria continues to seek assistance in investigating the drone strikes in the Black Sea. Three vessels have already been hit.

Sofia has no conclusive evidence, but is now openly suggesting that Russia may be behind the incidents. As a result, Russian Ambassador Mitrofanova is being summoned for talks in Sofia today.

What do you think? Who is behind these attacks on ships in the Black Sea?

“Crno more je žila kucavica za globalnu sigurnost hrane. Rusija ga napada kako bi iskoristila glad kao oružje i držala svijet kao taoca“, objavio je na X.

Predsjednica Europske komisije Ursula von der Leyen osudila je oba incidenta.

“Situacija u Crnom moru je sve više zabrinjavajuća. Napadi na civilne brodove su neprihvatljivi, Regija Crnog mora glavna je meta hibridnih akcija. Europska unija ima za cilj potaknuti suradnju u borbi protiv kibernetičkih napada, dezinformacija i drugih neprijateljskih akcija”, poručila je.

The Black Sea has become another front of escalation of the Russian war in Ukraine.

This is unacceptable.

I strongly condemn the drone attacks on merchant ships near Bulgaria’s coast.

Putting the lives of the crew in grave danger and threatening security in the Black Sea.

We stand with Bulgaria and thank its rescuers for their swift response.

Those responsible should be held accountable.
