A crippled tanker carrying Russian crude is leaking oil near a protected marine area off Oman, with worsening monsoon conditions threatening to spread the pollution. Satellite imagery shows a dark slick surrounding the Caroline Bezengi and lighter patches extending toward al-Qibliyyah Island. A remote-sensing specialist said the imagery suggests part of the vessel’s hull may have been breached. The tanker loaded crude at Russia’s Novorossiysk port and is sanctioned by Britain and the European Union over allegations that it transported fuel outside the Western sanctions system. The cause of a reported earlier explosion remains unknown, with no determination of whether it resulted from mechanical failure, conflict or a deliberate attack. If the damaged hull deteriorates further, the spill could threaten fish, seabirds, turtles and other marine life along Oman’s environmentally sensitive coastline.
