ISTANBUL (AP) — Ukraine has used Sea Baby naval drones to strike two Russian oil tankers in the Black Sea. An official from Ukraine’s security services told The Associated Press about the attack on Saturday. The tankers, Kairos and Virat, are part of Russia’s “shadow fleet,” which evades sanctions. The strikes occurred off Turkey’s Black Sea coast late Friday afternoon. Rescue operations by the Turkish coast guard ensured the safety of all crew members. The official said the drones disabled vessels capable of transporting oil worth almost $70 million. The strikes hinder Russia’s efforts to bypass international sanctions.
