A Turkish oil tanker carrying 1 million barrels of Russian crude was struck by drones just 15 miles from the Bosphorus Strait, according to Bloomberg.
The vessel, M/T Altura, departed from Novorossiysk, Russia, carrying 140,000 tons of crude oil. A massive explosion flooded the engine room and damaged the bridge, raising concerns over shipping security in the region.
🌍 Strategic Importance
The Bosphorus Strait is one of the world’s most critical shipping chokepoints, with 3% of global oil supply passing through it daily.
The tanker was EU-sanctioned and classified as part of the Russian “Shadow Fleet.”
This marks the second shadow fleet tanker hit in the Black Sea this year.
Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz is already mined, highlighting simultaneous threats to two of the world’s most vital oil routes for the first time in modern history.⚠️ Key Takeaway
With the Bosphorus under drone threat and Hormuz mined, global oil supply faces unprecedented pressure. Investors should monitor geopolitical events closely, as energy supply shocks often create opportunities in crypto and alternative assets.
