A Russian drone attack on two merchant ships in the Black Sea killed a crew member aboard a Panama-flagged vessel and injured five others. The strike follows a series of attacks on vessels in the region, with Turkey stressing the need to secure navigation in the Black Sea. This incident is part of an ongoing Russian campaign targeting maritime traffic in the western Black Sea, which has previously involved Geran-2 drones striking vessels and killing crew members.
