The \u200cSuezmax \u2060tanker Koala ran aground at Ust-Luga after a blast in its engine room in February 2025.<\/div>\n<div>According to LSEG ship tracking data, Arrhenius is Liberia- flagged and is managed by the Maple Mariner \u200bHolding in the \u200bUAE.<\/div>\n<div>A spokesperson for \u2060Russia&#8217;s Investigative Committee, Svetlana Petrenko, said that the mines were produced by a NATO country. She \u200bsaid the vessel, which entered Ust-Luga on May 20, \u200bwas \u2060scheduled to sail to the Turkish port of Samsun.<\/div>\n<div>The mines were deactivated, she said.<\/div>\n<div>&#8220;Based on initial investigative actions, it can already be concluded \u2060that \u200bthe magnetic mines could not have been \u200binstalled in Russia&#8217;s territorial waters,&#8221; Petrenko said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=230\">AfDB meets under Ebola\u2019s cloud as Africa hunts for development cash at home<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=228\">WHO chief says fast-moving Ebola epidemic is outpacing response efforts<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=226\">Founder of viral Indian Gen Z account alleges crackdown, threats<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mines were found by divers during an \u2060inspection of the hull of the tanker Arrhenius.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":231,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[18],"class_list":["post-232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-europe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
