Turkish Tanker carrying Russian oil hit by drone in Black Sea, near Istanbul's Bosphorus strait

Описание: A marine drone struck a Turkish crude oil tanker that had departed Russia, causing an explosion in the Black Sea near Istanbul's Bosphorus strait on Thursday. According to Turkish Minister, Abdulkadir Uraloglu, the incident occurred in the early hours of March 26. This is one of several in recent months involving Western-sanctioned vessels heading to or from Russian ports. All 27 crew have been reported to be safe with coastguard been dispatched to the vessel, the Altura, which was about 18 nautical miles (33 km) from the Bosphoru. Bosphoru is a key commodities-shipping channel linking the Black Sea with the Marmara and Mediterranean. The attack, just outside Turkish territorial waters, likely aimed to disable the engine room in the Sierra Leone-flagged vessel that was carrying Russian oil. Ship-tracking and Refinitiv AIS data showed the Altura had left Russia's port of Novorossiysk with about 1 million barrels of crude oil and appeared almost fully lade. The Turkish ship is sanctioned by the European Union and Britain, it is to be noted that the Black Sea is shared by Russia and Ukraine.
