The Bulgarian military was aware of a potential drone attack on the Contship Jet vessel, which sank in the Black Sea. Admiral Emil Eftimov stated that the drones originated from the east, but military forces did not intervene as the attack occurred outside territorial waters. Eftimov explained that while preventive measures were taken, including increased monitoring, the military lacked the legal mandate to act beyond territorial waters. The attack, which involved three drones, resulted in significant damage to the ship, leading to its sinking. All crew members were safely evacuated. The incident marks the fifth attack on vessels in Bulgaria's exclusive economic zone, with speculation about Russian involvement, though Eftimov refrained from assigning blame.
