Bulgaria halted the search for the missing crew of the Türkiye-operated, Togo-flagged cargo ship Alfa Watan, which sank after a drone attack in its Black Sea search-and-rescue zone.

Authorities found life rafts and wreckage but no trace of the missing sailors.

Russia denied targeting the merchant ship, while Zelensky said a joint investigation with Bulgaria’s navy found Russia was behind the attack.
