The Ukrainian Armed Forces Sank A Tanker Belonging To The "shadow Fleet" In The Black Sea

And 18 ammunition depots were destroyed near St. Petersburg.

On the night of June 10, the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck a factory producing navigation systems for missiles and drones, an oil refinery in Samara, and a tanker belonging to Russia’s “shadow fleet” in the Black Sea.

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

A tanker from the "shadow fleet" in the Black Sea

The tanker WEST Horizon was struck in the Black Sea. Damage to the propeller and rudder assembly has been confirmed—the vessel has lost its ability to move.


The WEST Horizon is a chemical tanker with a deadweight of over 50,000 tons. It is subject to sanctions from the UK, Ukraine, and Australia for transporting Russian oil in circumvention of international bans. The vessel is linked to the Turkish company Beks, which is part of the group owned by Turkish businessman Ali Bekmezci.

Previously, the tanker had repeatedly visited Russian ports—Novorossiysk, Tuapse, St. Petersburg—and had turned off its AIS transponder several times to conceal its route.

Based on the results of further reconnaissance of the arsenal struck on June 6 in the Bolshaya Izhora area of the Leningrad Region, the destruction of 18 ground storage facilities and three open storage areas has been confirmed. Secondary detonation of ammunition was recorded.

Also struck overnight:

- the "VNIIR-Progress" plant in Cheboksary—which produces navigation components for "Shaheds," "Kalibrs," and "Iskanders"; the strike was carried out using FP-5 "Flamingo" missiles from a distance of over 900 km from the front line;


- The Kuibyshev Oil Refinery in Samara - processes about 3.7 million tons of oil per year and supplies fuel to the Russian military.
