INCIDENT KOD BUGARSKE
Nova drama u Crnom moru: Dronovima zasuli brodove, jedan je potopljen!
Dva broda pogođena su dronovima u blizini bugarske obale Crnog mora, a jedan od njih je potonuo, izjavio je u utorak bugarski premijer Rumen Radev. Riječ je o drugom takvom incidentu u posljednjih tjedan dana, piše Reuters.
Brod Chelsea 3, u ukrajinskom vlasništvu i pod malteškom zastavom, pogođen je s tri drona oko 1.30 sati po lokalnom vremenu, približno 33 kilometra od bugarske obale. Prema iskazima članova posade, dronovi su pogodili palubu i bočnu stranu broda.
Radev je potvrdio da je svih 15 članova posade, među kojima sedam Ukrajinaca i osam Azerbajdžanaca, uspješno spašeno. Petorici je pružena liječnička pomoć, no nitko nije teže ozlijeđen.
Drugi napadnuti brod identificiran je kao Azov Concord, koji je potonuo približno 31 kilometar istočno od Krapetsa, javlja bugarski portal Novinite. Dosad je spašen jedan član njegove posade, dok ukupan broj ljudi na plovilu i sudbina ostalih zasad nisu poznati.
Bugarska najavila diplomatske korake
“Ovo je apsolutno neprihvatljivo, još jedan napad u neposrednoj blizini bugarskih teritorijalnih voda”, poručio je Radev u televizijskom obraćanju.
Najavio je da će o incidentu razgovarati s glavnim tajnikom NATO-a Markom Rutteom te da će pozvati ruskog veleposlanika na razgovor.
Iako zasad nema jasnih dokaza o tome tko stoji iza napada, Radev je istaknuo da sve upućuje na Rusiju. O napadima su već obaviješteni stalni predstavnici Bugarske pri NATO-u i Europskoj uniji.
Sličan incident prije samo tjedan dana
Prošli napad dogodio se 6. listopada, kada su dronovi nepoznatog podrijetla pogodili dva komercijalna broda u Crnom moru, u blizini Bugarske.
⚠️ 🇧🇬 BREAKING: Drone strikes hit two merchant ships off NATO member Bulgaria, sinking one as rescue operations continue Two commercial vessels were struck by drones in the Black Sea off Bulgaria early Tuesday, October 13, in another attack on civilian shipping near the maritime zone of a NATO member state. Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev confirmed that one vessel sank, while emergency teams rescued one member of its crew. The fate of the remaining sailors has not yet been established. The second ship, the Maltese-flagged Chelsea 3, was reportedly attacked by three aerial drones approximately 18 nautical miles east of Byala. All 15 crew members were evacuated to Varna, with five receiving treatment for minor injuries. The latest incident follows a separate series of drone attacks on commercial shipping in Bulgaria’s exclusive economic zone on October 6, when the Alfa Watan sank and another vessel, the Able, was struck and caught fire. Twelve Syrian sailors aboard the Alfa Watan were subsequently reported missing. Radev condemned the new attacks and sought assistance from NATO and the European Union, but acknowledged that Bulgarian authorities do not yet possess conclusive evidence identifying the perpetrators. The repeated strikes are raising urgent questions about maritime security in the western Black Sea, where commercial shipping routes face threats from the Russia-Ukraine war. Although Russian involvement is suspected, responsibility for Tuesday’s attacks has not been independently established.

Prema tadašnjim informacijama turskih i bugarskih medija, napadnuti su brodovi Alfa Watan i Able, u vlasništvu turskih kompanija. Alfa Watan, koji je plovio pod zastavom Toga prema rumunjskoj luci Sulina, potonuo je, dok je na brodu Able, pod zastavom Palaua, izbio požar. Njegovih 18 članova posade napustilo je plovilo i prebačeno je na bugarski trajekt Dioscuria.
Samo dan ranije, u rumunjskoj isključivoj gospodarskoj zoni napadnut je i turski teretni brod Rojad Mamadov. U tom su napadu poginula dvojica članova posade, dok ih je 11 spašeno. Ukrajinski predsjednik Volodimir Zelenski optužio je Rusiju da je brod pogodila dvama dronovima, nakon čega je potonuo.
Two vessels were struck by drones, likely Russian, today in the Black Sea just 18 miles off the coast of Bulgaria, with one vessels sinking. Rescue operations are currently underway, as at least twelve crew members, possibly Ukrainian, have been reported injured. This follows last week’s swathe of attacks against shipping within the EEZs of NATO nations in the Black Sea, with it being best to describe the response from the nations involved as paltry. More to come.
