Bulgaria says Russia was likely behind Black Sea drone strikes as rescue operations continue

On Wednesday in Sofia, Bulgaria stated that Russia was likely responsible for a series of drone attacks that targeted four ships in the Black Sea over the preceding week. The strikes resulted in the sinking of two vessels, while ongoing rescue operations continued to search for 11 missing individuals.

Despite asserting Moscow's likely involvement, Bulgarian officials acknowledged that there is currently no way to definitively prove Russia's culpability in the maritime attacks.
