00:05Turkish F-16 fighter jets were scrambled in seconds after the unknown drone veered dangerously close.
00:12The drone was labeled out of control by Turkey's defense ministry and destroyed safely outside any populated area.
00:18But this wasn't just any routine threat.
00:21It came just days after Ukraine launched daring naval drone strikes on Russia's Shadow Fleet.

00:36Just last week, Russian forces attacked Ukrainian ports and damaged three Turkish-owned cargo ships.
00:43And now, Turkish leaders are sounding the alarm, warning that the war in Ukraine is drifting dangerously close to their shores.
00:50President Erdogan even called Ukraine's strikes a worrying escalation.
00:54With Russia threatening to cut Ukraine off from the sea and both sides stepping up attacks,
00:59the Black Sea is becoming a high-risk battlefield.
