Ukraine’s Security Service said it struck the Oman‑flagged tanker Qendil in international waters of the eastern Mediterranean with aerial drones, a major expansion after Kyiv had attacked shadow‑fleet tankers in the Black Sea last month.Ship‑tracking and satellite imagery showed the Qendil made a U‑turn near Crete after departing India for Ust‑Luga, the SBU said the vessel was empty and unusable and Vladimir Putin warned Russia would respond.
