'MAYDAY, MAYDAY': Explosions Near Turkey; Huge Attacks On Ships In Black Sea Amid Russia-Ukraine War

Back-to-back drone strikes have rocked the Black Sea near Turkey, targeting two Western-sanctioned oil tankers — VIRAT and KAIROS — transporting Russian crude. The Gambian-flagged VIRAT issued a desperate “Mayday, Mayday” call after a drone boat reportedly slammed into the vessel, marking the second attack in 24 hours. Meanwhile, KAIROS caught fire off the Turkish coast following what authorities called an “external cause”, suggesting a missile, drone, naval mine, or underwater vehicle. Rescue teams saved all crew members, but dramatic plumes of thick black smoke filled the sky, raising fears of escalating conflict on the vital oil corridor. Watch this video to know more.
