Ukrainian forces have attacked a Russian tanker from positions in Libya, officials say

Two Libyan officials say that Ukrainian forces are operating in western Libya and that they used the region to strike a Russian tanker in the Mediterranean last month. The Arctic Metagaz, carrying liquefied natural gas, was damaged in a suspected sea drone attack near Maltese waters in early March. All 30 crew members were rescued. The tanker is part of Russia’s shadow fleet, violating international sanctions. Ukrainian forces, mainly drone experts, are based in Misrata and other locations. The officials claim this is part of a covert deal between Kyiv and Libya’s government, backed by Western countries.
