US maritime surveillance in the Black Sea

Overview

A US Navy Boeing P-8A Poseidon aircraft conducted maritime surveillance missions over the western Black Sea, operating within the international waters of Bulgaria’s exclusive economic zone.

The mission aimed to monitor sea traffic and identify potential threats to commercial shipping, which has faced increased risks from Russian drone attacks targeting vessels on routes connecting Ukrainian ports to the wider Black Sea transport network. This activity is part of an expanded presence of US and NATO aircraft in the western Black Sea basin, following reports of drone strikes against merchant ships.
