Two additional cargo ships were attacked with drones just a few miles away from Bulgarian territorial waters. Five crew members were rescued from the first, the other 11 are missing. All 15 of the other ship were rescued; 5 of them had minor injuries. The first ship sank.
Ukraine was quick to blame Russia. There is no clear evidence (like drone parts) of who was behind the attack, but the ships were crewed by Ukrainians, so unless this was a very sophisticated false flag operation, it was almost certainly Russia.
