Black Sea drone attack that sunk ship off Bulgaria condemned as crew still missing
It is not clear who is behind the attacks which come as Russia intensifies strikes in the Black Sea as part of its war against Ukraine.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets center the same basic frame: a merchant ship sinks in the Black Sea and crew members are missing, with drones identified in the headlines and extracts as the apparent cause. France 24 is alone in mentioning that two merchant vessels were hit and that Bulgarian authorities launched a search, while the BBC is alone in stressing that it is not clear who was behind the attacks and tying them to intensified strikes in the Black Sea. The Independent’s extract stands out by saying it appeared to be the first such attack in Bulgarian waters.
