Bulgaria summons Russian ambassador after ship sinks in Black Sea drone attack
Six crew members are rescued but 10 are missing after a merchant ship was sunk overnight, Bulgaria says.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets center on the drone attack off Bulgaria and the fact that two ships were hit, with Al Jazeera and BBC News also saying one ship sank and Al Jazeera naming the Ukrainian-owned Chelsea 3. BBC News alone foregrounds the prime minister’s suspicion that Russia was behind the attacks, while The Independent alone frames the coverage around condemnation of an “unacceptable” escalation and says Bulgaria will summon the Russian ambassador.
