Black Sea sailors thought a rescue boat was racing toward them. Instead, it was a drone that sank their ship

In October, the commercial vessel Dignity was attacked in the Black Sea, marking one of nearly 50 such incidents that month. Sailors on board mistook a rescue drone for a racing boat, unaware it was part of an attack that ultimately sank their ship. This surge in attacks has disrupted shipping routes and heightened tensions, prompting NATO to boost maritime security with more patrols and advanced radar systems. The escalating conflict underscores the growing instability in a crucial shipping corridor.
