Ukrainian forces increased attacks on Russian 'shadow fleet' oil tankers in the Black Sea, striking Midvolga 2 about 80 miles off Turkey while it sailed from Georgia with sunflower oil; the crew of thirteen reported no injuries and the ship did not request assistance. Earlier operations using Sea Baby naval drones reportedly disabled two sanctioned tankers, Kairos and Virat, potentially carrying nearly $70 million of oil, in a joint SBU and Ukrainian Navy action. Moscow condemned the strikes as threats to global energy security, with the Russian Foreign Ministry calling them terrorist attacks and denouncing facilitators.
