U.S. drones in Black Sea spark conflict with Russia, says Kremlin.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said that US drone flights over the Black Sea are a sign of direct US involvement in conflict with Russia. This comes after a US drone was intercepted by Russian Su-27 fighter planes and crashed into the sea. The US claims the Russian planes harassed the drone, while Russia says the drone violated airspace restrictions. The incident marks the first known direct military encounter between the two sides since Russia launched its war in Ukraine last year.
