Sanctioned Oil Tanker Hit by Blasts at Russian Port!

A fuel tanker carrying 130,000 tons of oil was rocked by multiple explosions at Russia’s Ust-Luga port, just before its scheduled departure.

The powerful blasts ripped through the engine room, forcing the 24-member crew to abandon ship. Fortunately, all were reported safe.

The tanker settled by the stern, touching the seabed, but Russian authorities insist there is no risk of sinking or fuel leakage.

Contradictory reports are emerging—some claim the explosion was an engine malfunction, while others suspect an external attack.

The vessel, part of Russia’s shadow fleet, has changed its flag four times in a year, raising questions about its operations.

This incident follows the sinking of a Russian cargo ship in December and a Ukrainian drone strike on Ust-Luga’s fuel terminal in January.

With Finland now on high alert for an oil spill, the world watches closely—was this an accident, or something far more sinister?
