Turkey summons Ukrainian ambassador over Black Sea attacks

Turkey summoned Ukraine's ambassador on Saturday following separate drone attacks in the Black Sea that damaged two Turkish-operated commercial vessels. The incidents involved an initial attack on a Turkish ship and a subsequent strike on a second vessel that arrived to tow the first near the Russian port of Tuapse.

Ankara has urged both Ukraine and Russia for weeks to suspend attacks on civilian vessels operating in the Black Sea region. The diplomatic action highlights Turkey's growing concern over the security of commercial shipping lanes amid the ongoing conflict.
