Two Ukrainian drones were involved in an attack on an oil tanker, which took place in the Black Sea on Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on Wednesday.
The incident involving the crude oil tanker Matilda was reported by the Kazakh state-owned oil company KazMunayGas (KMG), whose subsidiary commissioned the ship to pick up cargo at the Russian port of Novorossiysk.
The shipment was part of the operations of the international Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), which transports fuel extracted in Kazakhstan via Russia to international markets.
According to the Russian military, the Malta-flagged vessel was attacked around 100km from the Russian city of Anapa at around 10:15am local time.
