A drone attack hits a container ship off Bulgaria's Black Sea coast

Three maritime drones struck the Liberian-flagged Contship Jet about 21 nautical miles southeast of Shabla on Wednesday, Bulgaria's defence minister said. The crew evacuated, with no immediate reports of casualties.

It is the latest in a string of attacks this month off Bulgaria and Romania, two NATO members. Russia has not claimed them, and Bulgaria's prime minister said suspicion points to Moscow but "we cannot prove it."

The attacks threaten a global shipping route and have left two people dead, with at least 25 still missing. NATO says it has increased counter-drone capabilities on its eastern flank.
