The crew of a ship are missing after a drone strike sank a vessel in the Black Sea, off the coast of NATO member Bulgaria. Rumen Radev, Bulgaria's prime minister, said another ship was also damaged and described the attack as a gross violation of international law.
It's not known where the drone came from, and it hit too far out to trigger a NATO response.
Sky's @IvorBennett says the footprint of the Ukraine war is expanding and tensions are rising.

Like other members of the foreign media in Moscow, I was accredited to tmrw’s Victory Day parade on Red Square. But like most others, it seems, I’m not any more.
According to the Kremlin, our accreditation wasn’t “revoked”. But the changed format means there’s no longer space.
