Romania is investigating a possible new drone attack on a tanker off its Black Sea coast, according to multiple outlets. The probe follows reports of suspected Russian drones and related incidents involving shipping in nearby waters.
The latest developments come amid concern that the Ukraine war’s effects are spreading into the Black Sea region. Courthouse News reports similar drone incursions this month in Romania’s and Bulgaria’s exclusive economic zones, while Euronews says the incidents have renewed scrutiny of Europe’s ability to protect shipping and critical infrastructure. France 24 adds that suspected Russian drones have hit several ships off Romania and neighboring Bulgaria since the previous week, framing the case as part of a broader pattern of spillover impacting maritime security.
