      Turkey has imposed restrictions on the passage of commercial vessels through the Dardanelles to the Black Sea due to the increased number of drone attacks. According to Bloomberg, citing its sources, an unidentified drone was detected today at a distance of about 500 meters from the coast of the Turkish province of Sakarya. The Turkish Coast Guard has notified several vessels heading to Novorossiysk about the ban on passage or the need for additional time to consider transit applications through the Dardanelles. The restrictions also affected vessels heading to Ukraine. According to the publication's estimates, such measures could lead to additional difficulties for global trade, especially against the backdrop of problems with oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz.
