Ursula von der Leyen to visit Black Sea region amid wave of deadly drone attacks

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is to travel to the Black Sea region, Politico Europe reports. The visit comes at a time when the region is seeing a wave of deadly drone attacks.

The European Commission is the executive arm of the European Union, and trips abroad by its president usually reflect EU policy priorities in the region concerned.

The source material available does not say which countries will be visited, when exactly the trip will take place, whom she will meet or what topics will be discussed. It also gives no information on who is behind the attacks, how many people have been hurt or killed, or where exactly they occurred. This report does not fill those gaps with assumptions.

The story will be updated once more precise details about the visit's programme and the security situation in the region become available.
