Russia says US drone flights over Black Sea risk direct clash

Russia warned the United States on Friday its reconnaissance drone flights over the Black Sea raised the risk of"direct confrontation" between Moscow and NATO, days after the Kremlin blamed Washington for a deadly missile strike on Crimea.

It said the drones were"carrying out reconnaissance" and providing information to Western-supplied Ukrainian weapons planning to strike Russian targets. The United States routinely carries out drone flights over the Black Sea, operations that it says are conducted in neutral airspace and in accordance with international law.

Pentagon spokesman Major General Pat Ryder said Ukrainians made"their own decisions" about where to strike, while the State Department pointed out Crimea is recognised internationally as part of Ukraine. Adding to tensions, a Ukrainian drone struck a petrol depot in central Russia early Friday and set it alight, the latest in a series of targeted strikes by Kyiv on Russia's energy infrastructure, authorities said.
