Oil leak spreads from sanctioned tanker grounded off Oman coast
Satellite images show a sanctioned tanker leaking crude oil near Oman's protected islands. The oil slick has spread across twenty square kilometers and reached shorelines. Environmental experts warn of increased leakage and potential ship breaking due to monsoon winds. This tanker, carrying over 800,000 barrels, is sanctioned by multiple countries. The Omani government ordered its removal, but owner response remains unclear.
