JAKARTA - Turkey has shot down an uncontrolled drone that approached its airspace over the Black Sea, the defense ministry said.
The incident follows Turkey's warning last week of an escalation in the Black Sea after Russia's attack on a Ukrainian port that damaged three Turkish-owned cargo ships.
In a statement, the ministry said Turkish and NATO F-16 fighter jets were alerted to ensure the security of Turkish airspace after the detection of the drone, launching Al Arabiya from Reuters (16/12).

The attack on the Ukrainian port comes days after Moscow threatened to "cut off Ukraine from the sea" following Kyiv's attack that damaged three tankers of a "shadow fleet" heading to Russia to export its oil in the Black Sea.
