A Greek-owned oil tanker was struck by a projectile or drone while en route to Russia, according to Greece’s shipping ministry. The attack occurred Saturday near Novorossiysk, a key Russian Black Sea port. The vessel sustained damage but remains operational, continuing under its own power with no reported oil spill. Authorities confirmed the 24-member crew is unharmed, with no injuries. The incident happened 14 nautical miles (26 km) off Russia’s coast, escalating tensions in the Black Sea amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict. No group has claimed responsibility. Russia’s Novorossiysk port is a critical hub for oil exports, making the attack a potential disruption to energy shipments. The vessel’s destination suggests targeted economic impact. Greece’s ministry provided initial details but did not specify the weapon type or attacker. The Black Sea remains a high-risk zone for commercial shipping due to regional hostilities.
