Satellite images of sunken Russian tanker off Oman coast show growing oil slick

An abandoned Russian-linked tanker carrying millions of gallons of oil has run aground and is leaking off the coast of Oman, threatening a major environmental disaster. The vessel, identified as the Caroline Bezengi and part of Russia's shadow fleet, suffered damage from an unexplained explosion in early June.

Recent satellite imagery confirms a growing oil slick in the surrounding waters. Authorities are monitoring the situation as the vessel remains stranded with its cargo, raising concerns about the potential scale of the ongoing environmental impact.
