Rescue crews recovered five sailors after a drone attack sank the cargo ship HS Dignity off Bulgaria's coast — the second such attack in a week.

• The Syrian Sailors Syndicate announced the rescue of five crew members — four Syrians and one Egyptian — of the 16 aboard the HS Dignity.
• Search and rescue operations continue with six boats and two helicopters to locate the remaining sailors.
• Bulgaria's transport ministry said the empty ship came under drone attack at 01:20 local time, which led to its sinking, en route from Mostaganem, Algeria to Braila, Romania.
