Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev said in a social media post that he plans to summon Russian Ambassador Eleonora Mitrofanova for a meeting today after a cargo ship was allegedly attacked by three drones. Radev wrote, “We currently lack hard and clear evidence to accuse any particular party. But as I said before, logically, the outcome of this event was beneficial to the Russian Federation.” Radev said that the Chelsea 3 freighter was attacked about 18 miles from Bulgarian territorial waters, and a distress call was issued at 1:30 a.m. Chelsea 3 is owned by Ukraine, registered in Odessa, and flies the Maltese flag. The crew on board included 7 Ukrainian citizens and 8 Azerbaijani citizens, all rescued. Five of them were slightly injured and are undergoing medical treatment. Radev said he later received news that another ship had been attacked 17 miles east of Krapets. The ship has sunk and one crew member has been rescued. Radev added that he plans to talk with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and will continue to seek support from various parties to investigate the attacks on the three ships.
