The engine room of a Russian tanker, near Crimea, was damaged as a result of a maritime drone attack one day after the landing ship of the Russian Navy Olenegorsky Gornyakwith about 100 soldiers on board, “was put out of action” after being hit by Ukrainian marine drones in the port of Novorossiysk.
The attack, which apparently did not leave fatalities, hinders traffic in the strategic kerch bridgebetween Russia and the Crimean peninsula, and has forced the placement of an oil barrier around the ship, sanctioned by the US for supplying jet fuel to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
While the war in Ukraine meets 526 days Since the Russian invasion of the Saudi city of Jeddah, on the Red Sea, national security advisers and international representatives have sought to restore a “just peace” according to the Ukrainian formula, at the initiative of Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman.
