What Happened?
Russia’s oil tanker Qendil — part of the so-called shadow fleet used to move sanctioned Russian oil — ran aground off Bozcaada Island in Turkey’s Aegean Sea while underway from Aliağa to Yalova.
Why It Matters?
Drone Strike Link: The grounding comes weeks after Ukraine struck the Qendil with aerial drones in the Mediterranean, marking one of the first long-range Ukrainian attacks on a shadow fleet vessel far from its borders.
