JAKARTA - A drone attack reportedly targeted three tankers in the Black Sea near Turkey's northern coast, on Thursday, May 28.
Citing Reuters, the Tribeca Shipping Agency said the incident involving the tanker James II, which was sailing under the Palau flag and was unladen, was about 80 km north of the Turkeli Area in the Black Sea.
The tanker Altura and Velora, which sail under the Sierra Leone flag and are unladen, were also reportedly attacked in the nearby area while carrying out inter-ship operations.
Coast guard boats were sent to the scene to provide assistance.
The Tribeca Shipping Agency said all the tanker crew were reported to be in good condition, the agency said.
Russia and Ukraine have frequently attacked each other's ports and tankers since the two sides went to war more than four years ago.
Until now, neither Moscow nor Kyiv has claimed responsibility for this reported new attack.
The Turkish transportation ministry has not responded to the incident due to the 2026 Eid al-Adha holiday.
