Bulgarian bulk carrier "Rojen", which was blocked in the Israeli port of Ashdod near the conflict zone but sailed off at the end of October, has already arrived in Varna. Earlier, four sailors managed to return to the country on a flight from Tel Aviv.

"On October 7, at 6:30 a.m., we saw the first black smoke from Gaza. We had to move once after a bomb exploded 200 meters away from us," assistant captain Stoicho Angelov said. According to him, 17 people remained on board the ship - 12 Bulgarians and five Ukrainians.
