The hellene authorities ar investigating a suspected Ukrainian-made sea drone on discovered by local fishermen in a undermine on the island of Lefkada, Reuters reported on fri, citing coast guard and police sources.
The vessel, reportedly a MAGURA V3 kamikaze drone, was found late on Thursday. Preliminary evaluation indicated the boat was fitted with at least three detonators, sources told the agency. One source said the vessel was packed with explosives, but that information has not been confirmed by the Greek military yet.
Bomb disposal experts and military divers were reportedly deployed to the island to dismantle the drone and further examine the site. Investigators are trying to establish the characteristics of the vessel and its purpose, namely whether it was intended to attack Russian maritime traffic in the Mediterranean, a coast guard source said. The vessel could have been a part of a larger drone shipment or could have drifted into Greek waters from elsewhere, a maritime security source told Reuters.
Unverified footage circulating online shows the drone being towed by a patrol boat into a harbor. It appears to be fitted with a Starlink satellite dish, a common practice in the Ukrainian military to ensure stable connection for both naval and aerial long-range drones.
