00:00An unidentified drone just got shot down by Turkey, and it came from one of the world's most tense regions, the Black Sea.
00:07The Turkish Defense Ministry says the drone entered its airspace uncontrollably, forcing Turkish and NATO F-16 jets to scramble.
00:15No one knows where the drone came from, or who sent it.
00:19But here's what makes this even more intense.
00:21Just days earlier, Russia attacked Ukrainian ports near the Black Sea.
00:26Three Turkish-owned cargo ships were damaged in those attacks.
00:28And Turkey had already warned it would respond to any threats near its territory.
00:34To make matters worse, Moscow recently threatened to cut Ukraine off from the sea entirely.
00:39All of this adds to the growing risks of escalation in the Black Sea region.
00:43Turkey says it shot the drone down in a safe area, without revealing what type it was.
00:48But one thing is clear.
00:50Tensions in the Black Sea are heating up, and the world is watching closely.
