'Out-of-control' Ukraine drone causes panic in NATO nation: Zelensky caught trying to frame Russia?

NATO member Turkey says its F‑16 jets intercepted and shot down an unmanned aerial vehicle approaching from the Black Sea after it was detected on a path toward Turkish airspace and assessed as out of control, with the defence ministry stressing it was destroyed “in a safe area outside a populated area” to avoid any potential harm. The incident comes after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan publicly condemned Ukrainian drone strikes on Russia‑linked “shadow fleet” oil tankers near the Turkish port of Sinop, warning that such operations in Turkey’s “backyard” threaten navigational safety, human life and the marine environment in its exclusive economic zone.
