The container ship Contship Jet, chartered by the Israeli shipping company ZIM, sank in the Black Sea overnight after being struck by three unmanned surface vessels off the coast of Bulgaria. The vessel, which is Greek-owned and sailed under the Liberian flag, departed from Haifa port en route to Constanța, Romania, carrying 421 containers. The attack occurred approximately 20 nautical miles from the Bulgarian coast, causing a fire and severe listing of the ship. All 18 crew members were safely rescued by Bulgarian forces. ZIM confirmed the ship was operating under their charter and estimated the financial damage to the company would be minimal. The identity of the attackers remains unknown, though it is speculated that Russia may be behind the assault.
