British forces intercepted and seized the Cameroon-flagged shadow fleet tanker Smyrtos in the English Channel during a six-hour operation, marking the first detention of a Russian-linked vessel by the UK since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine; the tanker will be moved to the south coast for monitoring under UN maritime law as Europe steps up sanctions to choke Moscow’s oil revenue.
