Bulgaria has pointed the finger at Russia of being behind recent drone strikes in the Black Sea, as search and rescue efforts continue. The attacks on ships near NATO waters have raised concerns about Russian military activity. This has tested the alliance's response and raised tensions in the region. Romania also holds accountable Russia for escalating ship strikes in the region. Additionally, Bulgaria and Iran have signed a memorandum of understanding for their Taekwondo federations.
