A serious situation is unfolding in the Black Sea today. Two tankers—large ships that carry oil—caught fire after being hit by drones near the coast of Romania.
At least seven crew members are missing following the attacks. Rescue teams are working to find them, but it is a very dangerous situation.
This event is grabbing international attention for a big reason: the attacks happened in territorial waters belonging to Romania. Romania is part of NATO, which is a group of countries that have agreed to protect each other. This is the first time a drone attack like this has reached the waters of a NATO country.
Experts and officials are looking into who is behind the strikes, and Russia is currently the main suspect.
We will keep you updated as we learn more about the missing sailors and the safety of the area.
