叙利亚水手工会周二表示，在一艘船只因空中和海上无人机攻击在保加利亚海域沉没的16名船员中，有14人是叙利亚人，搜救行动仍在继续，以寻找11名失踪船员。
Fourteen Syrians were among the 16 crew members aboard a ship that sank following an aerial and maritime drone attack off Bulgaria, the Syrian Sailors Union said on Tuesday, as search operations continued for 11 missing sailors.
该工会向叙利亚《阿赫巴里亚》电视台透露，HS Dignity号船在遭到一架空中无人机和两艘无人水面航行器袭击后，在保加利亚海岸附近沉没。
The union told Syria’s Alikhbariah TV that the HS Dignity sank off the Bulgarian coast after being targeted by an aerial drone and two unmanned surface vessels.
工会称，已有5名船员获救，而对剩余11人的搜救工作仍在进行，共有6艘船只和2架直升机参与行动。此事发生在乌克兰指责俄罗斯在黑海对商船发动袭击之际。
It said five crew members have been rescued, while search efforts continue for the remaining 11, with six boats and two helicopters taking part in the operation. The incident comes amid Ukrainian accusations that Russia carried out attacks targeting commercial vessels in the Black Sea.
一周前，保加利亚黑海专属经济区距离沿海城镇比亚拉约70海里（130公里）处，有两艘商船遭到空中和海上无人机袭击。
Two commercial vessels were attacked one week earlier by aerial and maritime drones in Bulgaria’s exclusive economic zone in the Black Sea, about 70 nautical miles (130 kilometers) east of the coastal town of Byala.
保加利亚政府当时表示，托哥国籍的Alpha Watan号船在袭击后沉没，而另一艘船帕劳籍的Ebel号在其18名船员获救前发生火灾。
The Bulgarian government said at the time that the Togo-flagged Alpha Watan sank following the attack, while a fire broke out aboard the second vessel, the Palau-ed Ebel, before its 18 crew members were rescued.
叙利亚当局称，Alpha Watan号船上有10名船员，包括9名叙利亚人和1名埃及人，而保加利亚国家电视台上周三报道称，该船上有12名叙利亚水手。
Syrian authorities said the Alpha Watan had a crew of 10, including nine Syrians and one Egyptian, while Bulgarian state television reported last Wednesday that 12 Syrian sailors had been aboard the vessel.
关于船员人数和失踪人数的陈述出现不一致的原因目前尚不清楚。叙利亚上周四要求对该事件进行“独立且透明”的调查。
The reason for the discrepancy between the accounts about the number of crew members and those missing remains unclear. Syria demanded last Thursday an “independent and transparent” investigation into the incident.
保加利亚总理卢门·拉德夫表示，保加利亚没有明确且结论性的证据来指控特定一方实施了这些袭击，但称其后果使俄罗斯受益。
Prime Minister Rumen Radev said Bulgaria did not have clear and conclusive evidence to accuse a specific party of carrying out the attacks, but said their consequences benefited Russia.
保加利亚召见了俄罗斯大使，而乌克兰外长安德里·西比哈指责莫斯科在黑海针对商船并威胁海上安全。
Bulgaria summoned the Russian ambassador for the attacks, while Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha accused Moscow of targeting commercial vessels and threatening maritime security in the Black Sea.
莫斯科表示，对最新的袭击一无所知，而俄罗斯驻保加利亚大使馆此前已否认对10月6日袭击事件负有责任。
Moscow said it had no knowledge of the latest attacks, while the Russian Embassy in Bulgaria had previously denied responsibility for the Oct. 6 attack.
