Sanctioned Russian Oil Tanker Leaking Up to One Million Barrels Off Oman's Coast

The Caroline Bezengi, believed part of Russia's shadow fleet, was carrying 800,000 to one million barrels of sanctioned crude from Novorossiysk toward India when it ran aground off Oman after unexplained explosions near Yemen in early June. Oil has now reached Oman's coastline across a 2,000-square-kilometre slick. No party has claimed an attack; the IMO is monitoring.
