Forças armadas do Reino Unido detiveram o petroleiro Smyrtos no Canal da Mancha por suspeita de integrar a "frota fantasma" russa, usada para burlar sanções internacionais após a invasão da Ucrânia. A operação, inédita liderada pelo país, levou o navio para a Inglaterra para investigação.
Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz again after declaring it open, following the US blockade of ships heading to or out of Iranian ports. Two Indian-flagged vessels, Sanmar Herald and Jag Arnav, came under fire from Iran's IRGC and were forced to turn back. India summoned the Iranian ambassador to convey deep concern. Around 17 vessels including LPG and LNG carriers have been identified for evacuation, while LPG supplies face disruption. India has stepped up Russian crude imports to mitigate the crisis.
