Greek Fishermen Discover Unmanned Vessel Possibly Linked to Ukraine, Raising Security Concerns
Greek fishermen operating in the Ionian Sea discovered an unmanned surface vessel (USV) hidden inside a sea cave near Cape Doukato, Lefkada. The vessel, approximately five meters long, was found with its engine running and was equipped with cameras and a Starlink antenna. Greek media suggest the USV may have been carrying explosives and could be linked to Ukrainian maritime operations. The Hellenic Coast Guard recovered the vessel, and authorities are investigating its origin and potential connection to recent maritime attacks in the Mediterranean. The vessel was suspected to be part of operations targeting vessels linked to Russia's 'shadow fleet,' which are accused of circumventing Western sanctions.
