⚡️For the first time, Ukraine’s Security Service (@СБ України) has struck a tanker belonging to Russia’s shadow fleet in neutral waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The SSU’s elite Alpha unit targeted the tanker QENDIL (IMO 9310525) using aerial drones while it was sailing in international waters. The tanker sustained critical damage and is now unfit for its intended use. This effectively removes another asset from Russia’s shadow logistics network, which has been used to bypass sanctions and sustain the war effort. At the time of the strike, the Russian vessel was not carrying any cargo and was fully empty. As a result, the operation posed no threat to the environmental safety of the region, avoiding any risk of pollution or ecological damage. And Russia’s fleet is no longer beyond reach even in waters of the Mediterranean
