Two more ships hit off Bulgaria

Two more merchant ships have been attacked by drones off Bulgaria, with one reportedly sunk and rescue operations ongoing. The Maltese-flagged, Ukrainian-owned general cargo ship Chelsea 3 was struck by three drones, approximately 18 nautical miles east of Byala. All 15 crew members are reported to be safe.

The second attack occurred later in the day, targeting the Liberian-flagged, Turkish-owned bulk carrier Duzgit Fortune. The ship was hit by two drones and is currently adrift, with all 17 crew members accounted for.
