A Russian Su-27 fighter jet has reportedly collided with a US MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Black Sea, causing the drone to crash. While Russia has denied any direct contact was made, the US has said that two Russian jets attempted to intercept the drone. The US summoned the Russian ambassador in Washington, Anatoly Antonov, to protest against the move. Following the meeting, Russian state media quoted Antonov as saying that Moscow saw the drone incident as "a provocation". The incident highlights the risk of direct confrontation between the two countries over the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
