Ukrainian sea drones struck the Russian shadow fleet tanker Altura on March 25 near the Bosphorus Strait in the Black Sea, flooding its engine room while carrying 140,000 tons of crude oil from Novorossiysk, marking the latest in a series of maritime attacks disrupting Moscow's energy exports. This followed a March 14 strike on the Maran Homer tanker awaiting loading at the same Russian port, with Russia accusing Kyiv of the operations amid heightened risks to shipping lanes. Turkey condemned the Altura incident in its exclusive economic zone, raising NATO-adjacent tensions. Traders weigh Ukraine's sustained naval drone campaign against Russian countermeasures and potential diplomatic escalations, with no confirmed strikes since late March as of early April.

On December 10, 2025, Ukraine hit and disabled "Dashan," a tanker involved in trading Russian oil, as it sailed through Ukraine's exclusive economic zone in the Black Sea to the Russian port of Novorossiysk.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if there is a strike against any tanker in the Black Sea attributed to Ukraine between market creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM Eastern European Time (EET). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
A "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones, naval drones, naval guns, artillery, or missiles (including cruise or ballistic missiles) which impact a tanker anywhere in the Black Sea, regardless of flag, ownership, or damage level.
Strikes attributed to Ukraine by media or third parties, such as Turkey, including the December 2 incident involving the tanker "Midvolga-2,” will qualify, regardless of whether Ukraine publicly denies involvement or if definitive attribution is not confirmed. (see: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12/2/russian-tanker-struck-off-turkiye-as-ukraine-targets-shadow-fleet).
Ship seizures, boarding, or the use of small arms fire will not qualify. An intercepted missile or drone that does not impact the tanker will not qualify, even if debris lands on or near the vessel.
