The tanker was hit by a Ukrainian drone boat late Friday in the Black Sea.The strike was the second sea attack involving drones in one day, after Ukraine struck a major Russian port earlier on Friday in an attack that underlined Kyiv's growing naval capabilities as the Black Sea becomes an increasingly important battleground in the war.
Vladimir Rogov, a Kremlin-installed official in Ukraine's partially occupied southern Zaporizhzhia region, said several members of the ship's crew were wounded because of broken glass.An official with Ukraine's Security Service confirmed to The Associated Press that the service was behind the attack on the tanker, which was transporting fuel for Russian forces.
Any such explosions, he said, are "an absolutely logical and effective step with regard to the enemy." Tugboats were deployed to assist the tanker, which is under United States sanctions for helping provide jet fuel to Russian forces fighting in Syria, according to Russia's Tass news agency.Earlier Friday, a Ukrainian drone attack seriously damaged a Russian warship at the country's Black Sea navy base at Novorossiysk.
