Turkey's Maritime Authority reported a fire that broke out on two tankers sailing under the Gambian flag. The fires erupted several hours apart. The tanker was located about 35 nautical miles off Turkey's coast. All crews on the tankers were rescued. The Maritime Authority claimed the fire broke out due to a "foreign factor" but did not elaborate further. Both tankers are subject to sanctions imposed on Russia following its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, according to LSEG data.
