NATO boosts Black Sea patrol aircraft after deadly drone attacks

NATO has confirmed the deployment of additional maritime patrol aircraft, radar systems, and drones to the Black Sea. This follows a series of drone attacks, attributed to Russia, on commercial and military vessels, including incidents within the exclusive economic zones of NATO members Bulgaria and Romania, resulting in at least two sailor fatalities. The scale and specific nature of all reinforcements remain partially undisclosed, but the increased force posture signals heightened deterrence and surveillance.
