Zitat:Ukraine Claims Responsibility for Attacks on Two Sanctioned Tankershttps://maritime-executive.com/article/v...ed-tankers
Multiple media sources are quoting Ukrainian officials saying they attacked the two sanctioned shadow fleet tankers off Turkey on Friday. Turkey had earlier reported that the fires were controlled on the two vessels, but one of the tankers was again attacked in the morning hours. Speculation had been growing over a possible attack by Ukraine using drones or mines.
Reports by CNN and Agence France-Presse are quoting Ukrainian security sources confirming that Ukraine orchestrated the attacks. They are saying a new form of the “Sea Baby” drone was used in the attacks and that it was done to further impact Russia’s oil trade. A video was posted online showing the strike on one of the tankers. [...]
The tanker Virat reportedly suffered “minor damage,” with Turkey’s Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure saying “an attack was carried out again on the Virat vessel in the morning hours.” Friday night, they reported that there was no fire or emergency on the tanker, which had been anchored north of Turkey in the Black Sea awaiting orders. Saturday, they are reporting minor damage on the starboard side of the Virat. [...] Teams worked through the night at the Kairos, the first tanker that was attacked, to control a massive fire on the vessel that resulted from an explosion. The Turkish Coast Guard said the 25 crewmembers were evacuated and handed over to medical teams. There was no mention of injuries.
