Drones at sea, an AfD speaker and two outbreaks

Three stories, three angles: what happened, how it's being told, and what we don't know yet.

Drones hit three cargo ships in the Black Sea, in Romania's and Bulgaria's economic zones, and two of them sink. Nobody has claimed the attacks. In Saxony-Anhalt, the AfD's Tobias Rausch becomes the first AfD politician elected president of a German state parliament, and at least four of his 48 votes came from beyond the AfD and its declared backers. And two outbreaks: a technician at a plague research institute in Siberia dies of what Russian officials call pneumonia of unknown origin, and Kenya confirms its first Ebola case.

After each story, we ask what you think. Tell us in the comments or on Pollar's socials.
