A naval drone struck a Liberian-flagged oil tanker off Russia’s Black Sea coast near Sochi on Tuesday (Oct 6), sparking a massive fire and leaving crude oil burning at sea. All 23 crew members were rescued, while firefighting efforts were delayed until the flames subsided. Authorities also restricted access to nearby beaches and coastal areas. The incident comes amid continued attacks on commercial vessels in the Black Sea during the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. #russia #ukraine #russiaukrainewar Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
