SSU Sea Baby maritime drones struck two sanctioned tankers of the Russian shadow fleet, KAIRO and VIRAT, in the Black Sea.

This was a joint operation of the 13th Main Directorate of Military Counterintelligence of the SSU and the Ukrainian Navy.

During the attack, the sanctioned vessels were empty — they were heading to load in the port of Novorossiysk.

You once donated to these drones😉

I believe shadow fleet vessels are already uninsured. The way the sanctions are enforced is through insurance.

Yeah and they are buying old ships that would otherwise be headed to dismantling outfits.
