A Russian ship has been suspected of being attacked by a naval drone, and Ukraine is considered responsible, although there is no concrete evidence. The ship's manager and Russian authorities have not commented on the incident, and the Security Service of Ukraine has remained silent. This incident highlights the tensions in the Black Sea and the effects of international sanctions on the Russian energy industry. Russia's phantom fleet, made up of old and uninsured ships, was recently attacked, with two tankers, Kairos and Virat, damaged following explosions. Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, Russia has increased the number of phantom tankers to export its oil, and environmental incidents, including oil spills, have significantly increased.
