Two ships struck by drones near Bulgaria; 11 sailors missing
Two ships were struck by drones near Bulgaria in the Black Sea, leaving 11 sailors missing and sharply raising tensions with Russia.
The drone strikes are the latest escalation in the Black Sea, where commercial shipping has repeatedly been caught in the crossfire of the Russia-Ukraine war.
The missing sailors have become the human face of a crisis that has already pushed insurers and shipowners to reassess Black Sea routes.
The incident compounds the pressure on a day when Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy sites also continued despite the claimed ceasefire.
