An oil tanker, the Suezmax-class Nordic Zenith, chartered by ExxonMobil, was attacked by two drones while loading at the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal near Russia’s Black Sea coast. A fire broke out but was quickly extinguished. Thirteen crew members evacuated; nine chose to remain aboard amid escalating maritime tensions.
On Monday, Ukraine’s drones targeted the Caspian Pipeline Consortium’s Black Sea terminal, crucial for global oil supply, damaging infrastructure and storage tanks. Concurrently, Ukraine claimed strikes on the nearby Sheskharis terminal, igniting fires and affecting oil loading operations. These actions represent a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.
