Greece has protested the discovery of an explosive Ukrainian sea drone in a cave on a tourist island in the Mediterranean, according to Politico.
The incident reflects mounting tensions as Ukraine pursues Russian-linked shadow fleet tankers involved in sanctions evasion and oil smuggling. Authorities expressed alarm that weaponised systems are entering civilian recreation areas.
Greece fears the Ukraine conflict is expanding geographically into Mediterranean waters used by its tourism industry. The discovery raises broader questions about the scope of Ukrainian naval operations targeting Russian logistics networks beyond the Black Sea region.
