An alleged Russian shadow fleet tanker, identified as the Caroline Bezengi, has been stranded for over a month near al-Qibliyyah island off Oman and is leaking oil following explosions of unclear cause. Satellite imagery shows the oil sheen expanding from 20 square kilometers on July 24 to an estimated 600 square kilometers on August 4. The vessel loaded one million barrels of crude at a Russian Black Sea terminal, according to Kpler data.
