Egyptian officer recounts sinking of Syrian ship with 16 sailors
The Syrian vessel HS DIGNITY, captained by Mustafa Gazi, was targeted by an attack involving a drone and two disguised, explosive-laden boats off the coast of Bulgaria. This attack resulted in the sinking of the ship and the loss of 11 crew members, including Egyptian captain Mustafa Gazi. Captain Ashraf Mamdouh confirmed that the attack took place on the night of October 13, when the ship was hit by three successive strikes within 15 minutes. These blows caused the vessel to sink within five minutes at high speed and without warning, damaging the control room and flooding a large portion of the ship. Five crew members, including the ship's professionals, were rescued, but Captain Mustafa Gazi remains missing to this day. The captain explained that the attacks came from the direction of the Bulgarian coast and that the ship had been subjected to similar strikes in the past. Search and rescue operations are currently underway, involving Bulgarian boats and helicopters, along with Egyptian efforts to facilitate the return of the Egyptian captain and to provide appropriate compensation to the families of the missing crew members.
