Ukraine struck an oil tanker off the southern Russian coast on Tuesday (October 6, 2026) evening, triggering a huge fire and black smoke cloud that blanketed parts of the resort city of Sochi.

Both sides have heavily targeted commercial shipping around the Black Sea since the start of the conflict in 2022, with Russia in recent days hitting grain vessels carrying Ukrainian goods near the coast of EU member Romania.
