Russian Oil Tanker Struck In Aerial Attack Hundreds Of Miles From Ukraine
A Russian-owned oil tanker was attacked in the Black Sea about 80 miles north of the Turkish city of Sinop, according to Turkish and Russian authorities. The strike was “highly likely” carried out by aerial drones, according to the Ambrey maritime security firm. The attack on the Midvolga-2 was the third against Russian-connected ships in the Black Sea in the past three days and came a day after Turkish President Recep Erdogan issued a stark warning that the war in Ukraine was spilling over and endangering navigation.
While Ukrainian media have speculated that the Midvolga-2 was hit by long-range Ukrainian drones, Kyiv denied any involvement, which you can read more about later in this story. The incident took place about 340 miles from Ukrainian-held territory.
