On October 13, Bulgaria and Romania confirmed they are preparing a joint letter for NATO urging increased intelligence sharing and surveillance measures in response to drone attacks on ships in the Black Sea.
The two nations will present their proposal at the upcoming European Council summit on October 15-16, seeking coordinated actions to protect maritime traffic in the region. Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev announced he will request a meeting with Russian Ambassador Eleonora Mitrofanova following new drone strikes within Bulgaria’s exclusive economic zone.
On October 13, two vessels were targeted by drones in the Black Sea. The Azov Concord sank approximately 27 kilometers off Krapets, while the Chelsea 3 managed to reach port after being struck. Authorities have no evidence to pursue legal action against any state for these incidents.
