Drones struck two ships in the Black Sea Tuesday, sinking one and prompting emergency rescue operations. Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Rumen Radev said one crew member from the sunken vessel was rescued, but provided few details. Rescuers evacuated all 15 crew members from the other ship. Radev called the attacks “absolutely unacceptable” and sought NATO and European Union assistance to identify those responsible.
