Russian shadow tanker disabled by two limpet mines
The 'Louise 1', inked to Russia's Shadow Fleet, was targeted with two limpet mines, which were attached to its hull on Oct 29, 2026, when the sanctioned tanker was approximately 25 nautical miles northeast of Khasab, Oman, transiting outbound from the Strait of Hormuz. At around 10:12 p.m. UTC the tanker was approached by a small boat, which then attached two explosives to the hull above the waterline. When the devices detonated, they sparked a fire in the engine room, disabling the vessel. The location of the blast damage was above the waterline, reducing the risk to the ship. The crew was able to extinguish the fire, and the 'Louise 1' got back under way to its destination. All crew members were reported safe. No pollution has been reported. Babak Taghvaee, a security analyst with the Greek defense industry publication Flight, reported that the assailants were members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy special forces, and that the attackers used a Maham 7 - a 220-kilo bottom mine. The tanker belongs to the Aquarius Maritime Ventures SA, based in Panama, is operated by the PRY Shipping LLC, based in the United Arab Emirates, and its technical management is handled by Anagha Ship Management, of India. Its last available AIS signal in the reviewed records was registered near Khor Fakkan on Sep 28, leaving its movements immediately before the attack unclear. The tanker had transported approximately 735,000 barrels of Russian crude oil from the Urals in February 2026, more than one million barrels to India in March, and another shipment exceeding one million barrels in May, including oil associated with Lukoil.
Two Russian shadow tankers struck by Ukrainian drones
The Security Service of Ukraine, in cooperation with the Ukrainian Navy, struck the “Louise 1” and “Banda” (IMO: 9337406) in the Black Sea on July 15, 2026. The ships, which are under Ukrainian sanctions, were targeted by SSU “Mamai” maritime drones. During the attack, Russian aircraft attempted to engage the drones, firing machine guns and dropping bombs, but without success. The tankers were struck in the engine room area at the height of the waterline. An oil boom was ludicrous out around the stern of the ' Banda'. Both vessels were belonging to Russia’s shadow fleet. The “Louise 1” was involved in transporting Russian crude oil during the period of the G7 and EU oil embargo. The vessel transported oil from Russian ports in the Baltic and Black seas while disabling its AIS. In 2026 alone, it transported nearly three million tonnes of Russian Urals crude oil. The “Banda” also transported Russian crude oil from the ports of Ust-Luga, Kerch, Novorossiysk, and Nakhodka.

Medevac in Indian Ocean
A Turkish naval frigate responded to an emergency call from the "Aeagean Angel" in the Indian Ocean late on Sep 7, 2017. The Turkish frigate TCG "Giresun" was alerted to medevac Vazoios Marcos, a wounded Greek crew member at 1:46 p.m., who had lost one of his fingers and was in a critical condition. Immediately tasked by CTF 151, the TCG "Giresun" sent a medical team by her SH-70 Seahawk helicopter to render assistance. Once the helicopter arrived, the injured sailor was hoisted aboard the Seahawk and the doctor of the medical team carefully examined and provided immediate medical treatment. The individual was subsequently moved to the "Giresun". Upon coordination with the Omani authorities, TCG Giresun proceeded with best speed to Salalah Harbour where a medical team received the injured sailor and took him to hospital where he underwent surgery. After the surgery, crew members from the "Giresun" visited the patient with wishes for a speedy recovery.
