It has been reported that the Turkish-flagged M/T SABAHAT TELLİ was hit in the Taganrog region.
Following two consecutive nights of tanker attacks in Russia's Taganrog Bay, images of severe damage reportedly belonging to the 100-meter chemical and product tanker M/T SABAHAT TELLİ have been released. The photographs indicate significant fire and impact damage around the vessel's living quarters and bridge area. However, as of July 10, 2026, official statements from Russian, Ukrainian, and Turkish sources do not explicitly mention the name SABAHAT TELLİ. The exact date of the attack, the cargo status of the vessel at that time, and the health condition of the crew have yet to be confirmed.
It has been reported that the Turkish-flagged M/T SABAHAT TELLİ was struck during one of the drone attacks carried out in the Taganrog region along the coast of the Sea of Azov in Russia.
The incident came to light in Turkey through a social media account named Gemi Trafik, which published photographs on July 10 and shared the post stating, 'The 100-meter Turkish-flagged M/T SABAHAT TELLİ has been hit in Russia's Taganrog port.'
