Byala:A commercial vessel sank in the Black Sea off the coast of Bulgaria following a drone attack, and the crew has gone missing. The incident occurred approximately 112 kilometers off the coastal town of Byala in eastern Bulgaria.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, Prime Minister Rumen Radev condemned the attack, describing it as a flagrant violation of international law. The attack involved both aerial and naval drones, although it remains unclear who was responsible. It is uncertain whether the drones originated from Russia or Ukraine, as Bulgaria does not share borders with either nation but occupies a strategic position on the Black Sea.

Shipping industry sources noted that this appears to be the first drone attack of its kind in Bulgaria’s Exclusive Economic Zone. The Black Sea is a critical region, containing major ports for both Ukraine and Russia.
