EU Naval Mission Boards Russian Shadow Fleet Tanker Near Sicily
An EU-led naval mission boarded a sanctioned tanker linked to Russia's shadow fleet on Sunday in the Mediterranean, marking the second such operation in less than two weeks as European authorities step up efforts to monitor and disrupt Moscow's attempts to evade oil export restrictions. The operation was led by Italy as part of the EU naval mission known as EUNAVFOR MED Irini, with support from a Greek vessel and a Polish maritime patrol aircraft. The boarding lasted approximately two hours and was completed without incident.
