Tensions in the Black Sea are escalating after two Russian-linked “shadow fleet” tankers were struck off the coast of Turkey within just 24 hours. The tankers — Kairos and Virat — both erupted in flames following explosions that Turkish officials say show clear signs of external interference, raising urgent questions about whether Ukraine has expanded its sea-drone operations far beyond previous strike zones. The incidents have sparked international concern, as Turkey investigates whether naval drones, mines, or missiles were used in what may be a new phase of maritime warfare in the region. With sanctions-evading Russian oil tankers now repeatedly targeted, fears are growing that the conflict may be shifting deeper into contested waters. <br /> <br />#BlackSeaStrikes #ShadowFleetAttacks #RussianTankerHit #UkraineSeaDrones #KairosTanker #ViratTanker #TurkeyBlackSea #DroneStrikeFears #UkraineNavalOperations #SanctionedTankers #BlackSeaTensions #RussianShadowFleet #ExplosionsOffTurkey #BreakingNews #SeaDroneCampaign #UkraineVsRussia #MaritimeConflict #BlackSeaCrisis<br /><br />~HT.410~
