According to preliminary data, the tanker sustained critical damage and was put out of action.The vessel is reported to be worth about $30 million, and on a single voyage, it transported oil products worth about $60 million."In the last two weeks, this is already the third shadow fleet tanker put out of action, which helped the Kremlin circumvent international sanctions," added a source in law enforcement agencies.On November 28, SBU naval drones struck two Russian sanctioned oil tankers in the Black Sea, which were heading for loading to the port of Novorossiysk.
