NATO announced it is deploying additional patrol aircraft and intelligence personnel to the Black Sea region following a series of deadly drone attacks. A spokesman stated that allies have or will send additional maritime patrol aircraft, radar systems, explosive exploitation teams, intelligence personnel, and drones. The move comes after multiple drone attacks in the region, widely blamed on Russia, which have resulted in ship fires, sinkings, and at least 23 sailors reported missing or dead. EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas described six attacks in 10 days by suspected Russian drones as a "dangerous and unacceptable escalation," warning of impacts on global food supplies.
