A Ukrainian official claims that there was a fire aboard and that other Russian vessels were attempting to assist.

If the claim is true, the attack might be the most powerful strike we’ve seen by Ukraine’s coastal-defence forces.

Measuring 186 metres, the vessel was the lead ship of the Soviet navy’s Project 1164 Atlant class.

It also played a key role during Russia’s military campaign in Syria in 2015.

Crude oil surges 7% amid fears of Middle East conflict; Strait of Hormuz disruptions may push Brent over $100.

Crude oil prices spiked dramatically as investors react to the growing risk of a wider conflict in the Middle East. U.S. crude surged 7.2 percent, trading near $71.84 a barrel, signalling heightened concern across energy markets.

The Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping chokepoint, has come under intense scrutiny. Rising war-risk insurance premiums and suspended tanker traffic are already slowing the movement of oil, creating ripple effects in global supply chains.

JPMorgan has warned that prolonged disruptions over three weeks could force Gulf producers to reduce output, potentially pushing Brent crude prices to between $100 and $120 a barrel. Markets are closely watching for developments that could reshape global energy pricing.
