Russian LNG Tanker Sinks in Mediterranean After Drone Attack

0:00In Sydney today, March 5th, a Russian-liquified natural gas tanker has sunk in the Mediterranean Sea between Libya and Malta after catching fire from what Moscow calls A. Ukrainian naval drone attack. The ship, named Arctic Medagas, was heading from Vermont to Egypt when explosions hit it on Wednesday. All 30 Russian crew members made it out safely thanks to help from Maltees rescuers. This transport ministry labeled the strike an act of terrorism and piracy, saying the drones launched from Libya's coast. Ukraine's security service has not commented on the claim. This would mark the first known Ukrainian hit on an LNG tanker, if true. Kiev has stepped up attacks on Russian energy sites to cut war funding. Libya's rescue agency is wanting ships to steer clear of the area and report any oil spills, though pollution should stay low from on-board fuel. Both Libya and Egypt deny any ties to the vessel.
