Romanian Remedia reported that one or more drones had struck the ship near the offshore oil gas plant operated by omv petrom then a few days later drones struck two ships off the bulgarian black sea coast and the country's prime minister said on tuesday that it was the latest string of attacks near nato's territorial waters that have frayed nerves in the region Six crew members were killed and others rescued, and also 10 were considered missing, according to Bulgaria's defense minister, after it went down 30 kilometers east of the village of Krapičsk, having sent out a distress signal.

Bulgaria's Prime Minister Roman Radev acknowledged that there was not clear who had launched the drone, but said in a statement that logic suggests that the outcome benefits the Russian Federation, and that he had summoned Moscow's ambassador to seek an explanation.
