NATO to increase military presence in Black Sea in response to drone attacks on shipping

NATO will deploy additional radar systems, drones, patrol aircraft, and intelligence forensics teams to the Black Sea to support surveillance, reconnaissance, and explosive ordnance forensics in the region. The deployment is a response to recent drone attacks on cargo ships in the Black Sea, though NATO has not attributed the attacks to any specific country. Russian Foreign Ministry officials stated that risks of various incidents, including accidental ones, are rising amid increased NATO reconnaissance activity in the Black Sea.
