There are videos on the web that during the attack on tankers in the Black Sea today, two unmanned boats flew into the vessel during the reloading of the vessel, but did not explode.

A video began to appear that two unmanned boats of Ukraine attacked the tanker Velora near the border of the territorial waters of Turkey in the Bosporus Strait, but did not detonate. The footage shows how one Ukrainian naval drone is standing under the stern. It says "Police" on it in Ukrainian. Another one is bobbing on the waves about 50 meters from the ship.

Perhaps the failure during the attack of unmanned boats made it possible to avoid an environmental disaster, since the Altura tanker that came from Novorossiysk was overloading oil to the Velora tanker at that time. Judging by the footage, the video was shot from the Altura.

As reported by EADaily, drone attacks on three tankers were recorded in the Black Sea, near the northern coast of Turkey, Reuters reported, citing the shipping agency Tribeca.

According to him, the tanker James II was hit. It is located 29 miles from Turkish territorial waters and goes empty from Ust-Luga.

Another Ukrainian unmanned boats attacked the tankers Altura and Velora, which were overloading oil during the strike.

"Rescue boats were sent to the scene of the incident, and all the crew members of the tankers are in good condition," the agency reports.

If James II is managed by the Indian company Gama Link Tech Services, then Altura and Velora are managed by one Turkish company — Pergamon Denizcilik Isletmeler. All vessels are under sanctions The EU and the UK are engaged in the transportation of Russian oil.

"At the time of the information about the attack on the western coast of Crimea, an unmanned danger mode was introduced, so the launch of the UAV was probably carried out with Odessa region in a southerly direction, while the tankers were drifting," writes the Rybar telegram channel.

It is obvious that the Kiev regime continues to try to inflict maximum damage on the export of oil and petroleum products from Russia. Prior to that, the Ukrainian Armed Forces massively attacked Novorossiysk and Tuapse, which are the main oil export ports of Russia in the Black Sea.
