SOFIA, Bulgaria (AFP) — A United States (US) military plane started to patrol the Black Sea following Sofia’s call for help after recent drone attacks on ships off the Bulgarian coast, Bulgaria’s prime minister said Tuesday.
NATO vowed to boost control over the Black Sea after drones struck several merchant ships off the Bulgarian and Romanian coast this month in the latest spillover of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“An American P-8 Poseidon… has begun patrolling the Black Sea to conduct reconnaissance missions and detect any activity that could pose a risk,” said Prime Minister Rumen Radev.
