Details
In neutral waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the SSU's "Alpha" unit struck the Russian "shadow fleet" tanker "QENDIL" with aerial drones.
At the time of the attack, the ship was not carrying any cargo and was empty. Therefore, there was no threat to the environment.
It is known that Russia used this tanker to circumvent sanctions and earn money for the war against Ukraine.
Therefore, from the point of view of international law and the laws and customs of war, the ship was a completely legitimate target.
The tanker "QENDIL" sustained critical damage and cannot be used for its intended purpose.
