For many years, the Bulgarian state had specialized rescue ships. According to Captain Dimitrov, Bulgaria should mobilize all available resources from the Naval Forces, the "Border Police," and the search and rescue service of the "Maritime Administration" to adequately respond to the increased risk. #ЧерноМоре #спасителнаОперация #война (translated)

What did Bulgaria do a few days ago when these incidents occurred – attacked ships and what about today – everything we can do. The first is the rescue operation, and that's why the Security Council is usually convened, because this is the operational body that must assign tasks to the relevant services, to the "Maritime Administration", to the Ministry of Defense, to the Ministry of Transport, and all other agencies, because the most important thing is the saving of human life," Yotova said. #ЧерноМоре #война #безопасност (translated)

The freedom of navigation and the security of the supply chain are seriously threatened, generating significant risk for our country. The escalation of the war has led to an increase in incidents near the Bulgarian coast, turning the Black Sea into a military zone. Last night, two commercial ships were again attacked in the adjacent zone of the Republic of Bulgaria in the Black Sea. The ship "CHELSEA 3," flying the Maltese flag, was hit by three drones 17 nautical miles east of the city of Varna, while the ship "HS Dignity," flying the flag of Guinea-Bissau, was sunk 15 nautical miles east of Krapets. Following the swift response of the Maritime Coordination Rescue Center in Varna, the entire crew of the first ship was rescued, as well as sailors from the second ship. All efforts of the Bulgarian state, with the participation of the Armed Forces, Border Police, and the Executive Agency "Maritime Administration," are directed towards searching and rescuing survivors. This was stated by President Iliyana Yotova after the attacks in the past hours. #ЧерноМоре #международноправо #сигурностнакорабоплаването (translated)
