NewzOman is facing an impending environmental catastrophe as an oil tanker leaks across hundreds of square kilometres near a nature reserve off its coast, according to warnings from non-governmental organisations.
The vessel, identified as an alleged Russian shadow fleet tanker, was reportedly rocked by explosions before beginning to leak oil into the surrounding waters. Maritime security firms have been tracking the incident as it threatens local ecosystems.
The contamination spans a wide area in close proximity to a protected nature reserve, heightening concerns among environmental groups and local authorities over the long-term ecological impact of the spill.
