> Three Turkish-owned cargo ships sailing from Ukraine were hit by suspected Russian drones in EU waters. The Togo-flagged Alfa Watan sank off Bulgaria on Tuesday, leaving 10 Egyptian and Syrian crew members missing. Ukraine has also struck Russian tankers in the Black Sea, with no sign of a return to a UN-brokered deal allowing oil, grain and fertilizer ships to pass.
