Bulgaria votes in presidential runoff after tight first round

Bulgarians voted on Sunday in a presidential runoff between incumbent Iliana Iotova and former caretaker prime minister Andrey Gyurov after neither won an outright majority in the first round. The campaign unfolded amid drone attacks on merchant ships off Bulgaria's Black Sea coast that have prompted calls for allied maritime security assistance.
