The SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) Struck Tanker of Russia's ‘Shadow Feet’ For the First Time
This was reported by a source in the SBU.
The Gaze reports on it according to Ukrinform.
The Security Service of Ukraine conducted a new unprecedented special operation more than 2,000 km away from the territory of our state.
As a result of multi-stage operations in neutral waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the SBU's Alpha unit struck the tanker QENDIL, part of Russia's so-called shadow fleet, with aerial drones.
At the time of the special operation, the Russian ship was not carrying any cargo. Accordingly, this attack did not pose any threat to the ecological situation in the region, the interlocutor said.
"The Russian Federation used this tanker to circumvent sanctions and earn money that went to the war against Ukraine. Therefore, from the point of view of international law and the laws and customs of war, this is an absolutely legitimate target for the SBU. The enemy must understand that Ukraine will not stop and will strike it anywhere in the world, wherever it may be," said an informed source in the SBU.
As a result of the attack, the tanker QENDIL suffered critical damage and cannot be used for its intended purpose.
