Ukraine for the first time hit an oil tanker from Russia’s shadow fleet in the Mediterranean Sea, a fresh escalation in its drone strikes on ships helping carry barrels for Moscow.
The 250-meter (820-foot) Qendil was hit more than 1,200 miles from Ukraine’s borders and was empty at the time, a person familiar with the matter said, asking not to be named discussing sensitive information. The incident was the first involving an oil tanker in the Mediterranean and posed no environmental risk because it had no cargo on board, the person said.
