Ust-Luga, a key oil-export outlet in Russia's west, stopped at the end of March as Ukraine stepped up attacks on energy infrastructure along the Baltic coast.

"News accounts of the accident, as well as the study of water currents, led us to the Milwaukee after only two days searching," Neel Zoss of the association said in a statement at the time.

Four people have died after a small boat sank in the Channel between France and Britain, according to French local authorities. The situation is still being assessed and remains subject to change.

If the chokepoint were shut, along with the Strait of Hormuz, a quarter of the world's energy and a giant chunk of Asia's exports to Europe would be blocked.

A taxi boat sinking occurred today. The situation is still being assessed and remains subject to change, according to local French authorities in Calais.

Aerial views showed multiple containers stacked and on the verge of dangerously teetering into the water, with many in uneven and awkward positions.

The Arctic Metagaz was part of a Russian shadow fleet used to circumvent sanctions imposed on the country's oil and gas after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. It was struck in a suspected drone attack close to Maltese waters earlier this month, causing a huge hole.

The préfecture called for the immediate lifting of the blockades of Corsican port facilities, which are causing serious harm to Corsican households and businesses without providing a solution for the professionals concerned.

Recovered CWMs continue to pose worker and food safety risks. Because of ocean drift, storms, and offshore industries, sea-disposed CWMs locations are largely unknown and potentially far from their originally documented dump site. The three incidents exposed at least six crew members to mustard agent, which causes blistering chemical burns on skin and mucous membranes.

The Russian shadow fleet is a ticking environmental time bomb. The question isn't if there will be a catastrophic spill, it's when. Older tankers can suffer from metal fatigue, corroded hulls, and overall structural deterioration, significantly increasing the risk of structural failures at sea.

We submit that Natia Dzadzama's husband, of Georgian nationality, was unlawfully detained and held by the US navy in Scotland since 7 January, on the marine vessel known as the Marinera and formerly known as Bella 1. The captain's wife is reasonably concerned about her husband's safety and security on the ship, and today we are seeking the intervention of the Scottish court of session in order to protect the legal rights of her husband.

U.S. defense planning rests on the assumption that wars are fought abroad, by expeditionary forces, against defined adversaries. For decades, those assumptions held. But today, many of the most consequential security challenges facing the United States violate all three. They occur closer to home, below the threshold of armed conflict, and in domains where sovereignty is enforced incrementally. The shift has exposed a chronic mismatch between how the United States defines its defense priorities and how it allocates resources and respect.

The latest bombing brings the total death toll from US boat strikes to 125 since September, raising human rights concerns. The administration of President Donald Trump has announced United States' latest boat strike in international waters, which killed two people in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Friday's attack brings the total number of bombings to at least 36 since Trump began his campaign on September 2. An estimated 125 people have been killed, including the two latest casualties.

On September 14, Alejandro Carranza, a 42-year-old fisherman, set out to sea from a remote town in La Guajira, Colombia's northernmost province, bordering Venezuela. It was an ordinary fishing trip, in search of tuna and marlin, said Leonardo Vega, a childhood friend and the president of the fishing association Carranza belonged to. But this time, Carranza never returned.
