Three maritime drones strike a container ship in the Black Sea off Bulgaria’s coast, and all crew members are rescued, Bulgarian officials say. The incidents involve a Liberian-flagged vessel identified as CONTSHIP JET, with rescuers pulling crew from the water after the attacks.
Bulgaria’s defense minister is cited as confirming the drone strikes, which occur outside Bulgaria’s territorial waters but within its contiguous zone. Reports also say more than 20 hazardous-material containers drift at sea after the attack, raising concerns for maritime safety.
Some outlets focus on the rescue outcome and the number of people saved, while others add operational detail about the hazard and the geography of the incident. A separate strand of coverage links the event to regional security discussions, noting that Bulgarian, Romanian and Turkish defense ministers meet in Sofia as the attack is reported.
