The unmanned aerial device was shot down by a frigate that’s part of an EU mission in the Middle Eastern waterway to protect merchant shipping.

Warnings have been issued that the sinking of the Rubymar, which carried oil and 22,000 tons of fertilizer, could cause ecological damage to the Red Sea and its coral reefs.

The missile attack forced the crew to abandon the vessel, which had been on its way to Bulgaria after leaving Khorfakkan in the United Arab Emirates. It was transpo...
