Black Sea cargo-ship attacks widen current spillover near NATO waters.

Global rises to 86 after two cargo ships were struck by drones off Bulgaria, one sinking with 11 sailors missing, making this the second deadly cargo-vessel sinking in the area in a week. The incident widens verified Black Sea spillover close to a NATO member, while attribution remains unresolved and no direct NATO–Russia combat is verified. Middle East pressure remains extreme but does not rise on unconfirmed Saudi–Houthi claims or local Yemeni battlefield severity alone. North Korea's state confirmation adds detail to yesterday's missile test without a new launch or verified nuclear-readiness change. Scores measure current Global-escalation contribution, not local suffering or probability.
