Rumen Radev, President of Bulgaria, stated that two commercial vessels were struck by drones in the Black Sea, which is within the exclusive economic zone of a NATO member.

The drone strikes in the NATO exclusive economic zone were called a blatant violation of international and maritime law by Rumen Radev. The escalating military activity, including missile warnings and strikes on commercial shipping, increases regional instability and challenges maritime security in the Black Sea.
