Imminent oil disaster off the coast of Oman
A sanctioned tanker linked to the Russian shadow fleet has reportedly leaked oil near Oman. Environmental groups warn of severe consequences.
An oil tanker named "Caroline Bezengi" has run aground near an Omani island and is apparently losing significant amounts of oil. According to various sources, a large oil slick is spreading, posing serious threats to marine ecosystems.
Reports indicate that the ship was carrying 110,000 tons of crude oil. Environmental groups, including Greenpeace, warn that coral reefs, migratory birds, and marine mammals are at great risk from the impending environmental disaster. The ship's association with the Russian shadow fleet complicates the situation, potentially hindering the response to the incident.
