Mystery Naval Drone Found in Ionian Sea Under Investigation

Greek authorities are investigating a mysterious unmanned naval drone discovered by fishermen near the island of Lefkada in the Ionian Sea. The vessel was found inside a cave and later towed by the Greek coast guard to the port of Vasiliki for military examination.

According to local media reports, the drone was carrying explosives and its engine was still running when it was located. Officials are now trying to determine the drone’s origin, purpose, and whether it drifted into Greek waters due to technical failure or loss of communication.

Some reports suggest the drone may be linked to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and could resemble Ukraine’s MAGURA V5 sea drone, although this has not been independently confirmed. The incident has raised fresh concerns over the growing use of unmanned naval systems in modern warfare.
