ANKARA, Dec 16 (Reuters) – Turkey shot down an uncontrolled drone approaching its airspace over the Black Sea, the defence ministry said.
The incident follows Turkey’s warning last week of Black Sea escalation after Russian attacks on Ukrainian ports that damaged three Turkish-owned cargo vessels.
In a statement, the ministry said Turkish and NATO F-16 jets were put on alert to ensure the security of Turkish airspace after the detection of the drone.
