An explosion of a Ukrainian naval drone occurred in the Port of Constanța, prompting a sharp reaction from Brussels. The head of European diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, stated that ultimate responsibility for the incident lies with Russia, as it is a consequence of the ongoing conflict. Ukraine acknowledged the drone’s affiliation, but the EU regarded the event as an expansion of hostilities onto the territory of the Union. For the business community, the incident means increased risks in Black Sea logistics and a possible rise in cargo insurance costs.
