🇧🇬🇷🇺 Drones hit two ships in the Black Sea off Bulgaria’s coast, sinking one and damaging the other, with at least twelve crew members injured.
Calls are now growing for NATO intervention and tougher action against Russia, despite the incident occurring outside Bulgaria’s territorial waters.
Former European Parliament member Aleksandar Yordanov demanded Russia’s complete isolation, calling for reduced diplomatic ties with Moscow.
At the same time, Fmr. Deputy Defense Minister Yordan Bozhilov urged Bulgaria and Romania to consult NATO, while other defense experts call for stronger military defenses and greater alliance involvement.
