Russian shadow tanker struck by drones near Tuapse
On April 29, 2026, Ukrainian USVs have struck the 'Marquise', part of Russia’s shadow fleet, 210 kilometres southeast of the port of Tuapse. The tanker was hit by two unmanned surface drones, which were launched by a Ukrainian Navy unit. The tanker was not transmitting an AIS signal, likely waiting at sea to receive cargo from another ship. The strike targeted the stern section of the tanker, including the engine room and propeller-rudder system. The extent of the damage was still being assessed. The tanker was listed under sanctions by multiple countries, including Ukraine, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Switzerland, New Zealand, and Canada. It has been involved in transporting Russian-origin oil and petroleum products since Dec 2023. The tanker was also linked to the Lidoil DMCC, a UAE-based operator, and has been flagged for using deceptive shipping practices, including operations in the Kerch Strait and ports in temporary Russian-occupied Crimea, as well as disabling its AIS tracking to conceal movements during operations such as ship-to-ship transfer. Ukrainian drone strikes also targeted oil-related infrastructure inside Russia. Per local reports, facilities in the cities of Perm and Orsk were hit overnight on April 29. Ukraine’s Security Service later confirmed an attack on an oil pumping station near Perm. Russia’s Defense Ministry said its air defence systems intercepted 98 Ukrainian drones across several regions, including Astrakhan, Belgorod, Volgograd, Voronezh, Kursk, Rostov, and Saratov, along with Russian-occupied Crimea. Ukraine’s defense intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov stated that Ukrainian naval drones had previously downed two Russian Su-30SM fighter jets over the Black Sea using US-made AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles.
