Cargo Ship Sunk In NATO Waters As Crew Vanishes

A Togo-flagged cargo ship, the Alfa Watan, sank in Bulgaria's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) following a drone attack. A second vessel, the Able, was damaged by fire in the same incident, though its crew was rescued. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and Bulgarian Prime Minister Radev attributed the attack to Russian forces, while the Russian Embassy in Bulgaria denied responsibility. The incident occurred in international waters where Bulgaria holds economic rights but not sovereign territorial status, highlighting increasing risks to civilian shipping in the Black Sea.
