The US seized the Russian-flagged oil tanker Marinera in the North Atlantic, alleging it was involved in moving oil linked to Venezuela in violation of international sanctions. The vessel, operating under Guyana's flag and chartered by a private trader, had a 28-member multinational crew, including three Indian nationals, 20 Ukrainians, six Georgians, and two Russians. The crew has been detained as investigations into the ship's ownership and compliance with sanctions continue. Russia has accused the US of violating international maritime law.
