Russian drones strike commercial ships in NATO waters off Romania, Bulgaria

Since early October, Russian drones have attacked seven commercial ships in or near the territorial waters of NATO members Romania and Bulgaria, killing over 24 sailors. This marks a direct challenge to NATO's maritime security and a significant escalation, as attacks occur within or at the limits of NATO territorial waters. The pattern suggests Russia is testing alliance resolve, with implications for Black Sea shipping and regional stability.

NATO has confirmed the deployment of additional surveillance assets and patrols to the Black Sea following a series of Russian drone attacks on commercial shipping, some occurring near or within the exclusive economic zones of NATO members Romania and Bulgaria. These incidents, which have resulted in casualties, represent a direct challenge to NATO's maritime security and are perceived as a deliberate test of alliance resolve. The scale and nature of future Russian attacks, as well as NATO's specific response mechanisms, remain key uncertainties.
