French navy boards tanker 'from Russia' in Mediterranean
France's navy, with the help of allies, on Thursday boarded a tanker alleged to be from Russia's "shadow fleet" in the Mediterranean, President Emmanuel Macron said.
"This morning, the French Navy boarded and searched an oil tanker from Russia, subject to international sanctions and suspected of flying a false flag," he said on X.
"The operation was carried out on the high seas in the Mediterranean, with the support of several of our allies," he added, saying the vessel had been "diverted".
