As for the Black Sea, the incident occurred at around 3 a.m., BNT News reported, when a major fire broke out aboard the ABLE, a vessel sailing under the Palau flag.

All 18 crew members were rescued. One suffered severe burns, another sustained a head injury, while several others suffered minor injuries.

The sailors were transferred to Bulgarian navy and border police vessels and taken toward Varna.

The “Alfa Vatan,” a vessel sailing under the flag of Togo, sustained critical structural damage and sank east of the Bulgarian coast. So far, no members of its crew have been found.

It is still being determined whose drones attacked the vessels.
