🇧🇬 Container ship CONTSHIP JET sinking off Bulgaria's coast after being hit by three naval drones
Footage shows the impact points on the ship's hull and the damage caused by the drones' powerful warheads.
The Greek-managed, Liberian-flagged ship, operated by Israeli shipping giant ZIM, was sailing from Haifa to the Romanian port of Constanța with 421 containers when it was struck on Wednesday, about 20 nautical miles off Bulgaria's Cape Kaliakra. Since 2022, Constanța has become a major transit hub for Ukrainian trade. A French patrol aircraft spotted the drones and alerted the Bulgarian navy, but it couldn't stop the attack. All 18 crew members, 14 Filipinos and 4 Ukrainians, were rescued. The ship sank around midnight, spilling containers, some reportedly carrying hazardous cargo.
