A Russia-bound oil tanker was attacked by drones in the Black Sea, forcing the vessel to divert toward the Turkish coast and request assistance. The Palau-flagged tanker Elbus was en route to the Russian port of Novorossiysk when it reportedly came under an unmanned marine vehicle and drone attack. No injuries or pollution were reported, but the incident has raised serious concerns over maritime security. The attack adds to a growing number of strikes on commercial vessels trading with Russia, heightening tensions in a critical global shipping corridor.
