Drones attack two vessels off Bulgaria's Black Sea coast, one sinks
In the night of October 12–13, drones attacked two commercial vessels in Bulgarian waters. The CHELSEA 3, a Maltese-flagged cargo ship registered in Odesa, was struck by three aerial drones about 33 km east of Byala; its 15 crew members, including seven Ukrainians and eight Azerbaijanisians, were evacuated to Varna. A second vessel sank about 31 km east of Krapets; one crew member was rescued. Bulgaria's PM announced he would summon Russia's ambassador and seek EU and NATO assistance.
