Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged all parties to exercise responsibility in the Black Sea, during a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who is visiting Istanbul, according to Bloomberg News.
Zelenskyy said he had agreed with Erdogan to work on establishing a “grain corridor” in the Black Sea, according to a Turkish translation of his remarks.
The Bulgarian maritime authorities announced on Thursday that a ship flying the Liberian flag was attacked by drones off the Bulgarian Black Sea coast and sank.
Defense Minister Dimitar Stoyanov said three naval drones targeted the container ship “Konchep Jet” about 21 nautical miles from the Bulgarian coast on Wednesday, marking the fifth such attack within the exclusive economic zone of this NATO member country this month.
