Drones attacked several oil tankers in the Black Sea near the Russian port
In the Black Sea, drones struck three oil tankers operated by Greek companies as they approached the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) terminal, Reuters reports, citing sources.
The vessels involved were Delta Harmony, Matilda, and Delta Supreme. Two of them, Delta Harmony and Matilda, were hit near the port of Novorossiysk.
According to maritime security sources, a fire broke out on one of the tankers after the attack but was quickly extinguished.
No crew members were injured.
Monitoring services indicate that Delta Harmony (flying the Liberian flag) and Matilda (flying the Maltese flag) were carrying or preparing to load so-called “Kazakh” oil. At the same time, media outlets note that both vessels had previously appeared on routes typical of Russia’s “shadow fleet”. In particular, Matilda had previously called at a port in Venezuela.
Ukraine did not comment on the attack, and the CPC declined to issue a statement.

In occupied Crimea, a Russian serviceman brutally murdered a 17-year-old student
Seventeen-year-old Elvina went missing on January 4 after meeting a man she had connected with on social media. Several days later, her body was found in a ditch near a neighboring village. According to witnesses, it was burned, and she could only be identified through DNA testing.
Police later arrested a 23-year-old man named Dmitry. He had previously served time in prison on drug trafficking charges, then signed a contract with the Russian Defense Ministry and was sent to the front directly from prison.
After six months, he returned and was granted amnesty. Following his detention, he confessed to the murder.
