At around 1:30 a.m. today, the cargo vessel CHELSEA-3 was targeted in a drone attack in the Black Sea, 18 nautical miles east of the Bulgarian city of Byala, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Aykhan Hajizada told APA.
All eight Azerbaijani citizens among the vessel's 15 crew members have been rescued:
"One of them, Ramin Rauf oghlu Gambarli, born in 1993, has been admitted to a military hospital in Varna, where his condition is being monitored. The other seven Azerbaijani citizens have undergone initial medical examinations, and their condition is satisfactory.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is coordinating with our country's diplomatic missions and the relevant authorities of the countries concerned on this matter. Necessary measures are being taken to provide our citizens with essential medical and consular assistance, as well as to organize their safe return to the country.
Once again, we urge Azerbaijani citizens to refrain from traveling to regions where military operations are ongoing and the security situation is unstable, as well as from working in these areas or on vehicles traveling along high-risk routes, particularly aboard vessels in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov."
