The Turkish Ministry of Transport said that the Russian tanker \u00abVirat\u00bb<\/strong> was attacked again this morning. The incident occurred in waters near the Turkish area of responsibility. The released footage shows damage to the ship's hull and fire near the waterline.<\/p>\n According to the Turkish Ministry of Transport, the strike hit the lower part of the hull, which led to a local fire. The crew was able to quickly contain the fire, and the vessel retained its controllability. \u00abThe Virat is listed as a vessel that has previously been damaged in the Black Sea by drone or explosive attacks. The current attack is the latest in a series of incidents involving Russian vessels operating as part of the \u00bbshadow fleet\u00ab and transporting oil cargoes in violation of sanctions.<\/p>\n Turkish authorities say they are monitoring the situation and coordinating possible assistance with the nearest ports. According to them, no threat to the environment has been identified so far.<\/p>\n Attacks on tankers and vessels linked to the Russian energy sector have increased in recent months. The attacks often take place near transport corridors used by Russia to circumvent Western sanctions on oil exports.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
