Open-source reports state that a Liberian-flagged tanker sustained damage from striking a sea mine whilst approaching the Bystroe Canal, approximately 2nm East of Kubanskyi Island, Ukraine. Reports state that the Turkish-owned tanker sustained damage to the engine and that the starboard side of the hull had been breached. Ukrainian media sources later reported that two tugboats had been tasked to tow the vessel to Kiliya in the Izmail region of Ukraine. |
