A drone strike on sanctioned #crudetanker Altura near the #Bosphorus has flooded the engine room and renewed concerns over #BlackSea corridor security, threatening #shadowfleet operations and lifting #warrisk insurance exposure across key #energyshipping lanes.
🚨 #BREAKING: A Turkish-operated oil tanker, the #ALTURA, was hit by a drone attack in the Black Sea, just 15 miles off the #Bosphorus. The vessel was reportedly carrying 140,000 tons of crude oil. While damage to the engine room is reported, all 27 Turkish crew members are safe.

Close up of a Great Cormorant, a glossy black water bird with white head and neck feathering, bright white and yellow pouch and deep green eye, swimming in the sea.
Going to use today's #BirdOfTheDay theme, #BirdsInTheirElement, to share a portrait of a Great Cormorant in its natural environment, the sea; in this case the #Bosphorus #Istanbul #Turkey. Good to appreciate #commonbirds

I'm an eternal optimist so am sharing photos of various #istanbulwaterfront #views. #bosphorusview #bosphorus #bosphorusistanbul I'm off out to any one of them minute it warms up & sun shines. #istanbulonthewater Which is your favourite waterfront spot in Istanbul?
European Shag, a black waterbird with yellow gape line, flying low over water.
Adult Mediterranean Gull, white seabird with black head and red bill, flying over sea with the city of Istanbul and one of the Bosphorus bridges in the background
Great Cormorants, black waterbirds with yellow face patch, and white on the head and flanks, flying low over water, the Dolmabahçe Palace, Istanbul in the background.
Yelkouan Shearwaters, a flock of small, long-winged brown and white seabirds, flying very low over the Bosphorus, Istanbul.
With #WingsOverWater being today's #birdoftheday theme I thought I'd choose a selection of birds over the busy #Bosphorus in #Istanbul #Turkey. European Shag, Mediterranean Gull, Great Cormorant and Yelkouan Shearwater (streaming through in the 100s)
