Turkish authorities announced on Tuesday that a third Russian vessel bound for Georgia, carrying sunflower oil, was attacked in the Black Sea, following two similar incidents in the region.
Overview
The tanker, identified as Midvolga-2, was en route from Russia to Georgia with sunflower oil aboard. The attack occurred in the Black Sea, approximately 80 miles off Turkey’s coast. Turkish officials stated that the crew of 13 reported no injuries and that the ship is moving autonomously toward Sinop port. These details were provided by the Turkish Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure in initial statements.

“The crew reported no health issues, and the vessel is proceeding to port under its own power.”
