A satellite image has revealed an oil spill off the coast of Oman, consistent with a leak from a ship, according to the Copernicus Sentinel Data 2026. The tanker, which belongs to Russia's sanctioned shadow fleet, has been stranded off Oman's coast for over a month. The cause of the explosions that rocked the ship remains unclear, but a maritime security firm informed AFP that it was struck by explosions.
Greenpeace has warned that this incident could lead to an environmental catastrophe. Experts have previously expressed concerns about the risk of oil spills posed by Russia's ghost fleet of often rusty and obsolete tankers, which the country utilizes to circumvent Western sanctions.
