Two Russian tankers believed to be carrying thousands of tons of oil were damaged off the coast of Crimea in the early hours of Sunday.

A Russian oil tanker was navigating the strait between Russia and Crimea when it was caught in a massive storm that caused it to split apart. A second tanker was damaged in the same storm, prompting a rescue operation.

A video circulating on unofficial Ukrainian and Russian Telegram channels appears to show a Russian cargo ship snapped in two, with water spilling over the edge of its top deck. The shipwreck does not appear related to the war in Ukraine.
