Ukrainian drone strikes Russian tanker
The attached report does not describe a Ukrainian drone strike on a Russian tanker. It reports a train derailment in France near Cléon on the evening of September 11, in which a TER regional train carrying 186 passengers left the tracks, injuring 44 people, with one passenger evacuated by helicopter. The report states a piece of rail was placed on the track and that deliberate interference is suspected.
Why it matters
No source in the provided material corroborates the reported Black Sea naval incident, so the incident as described cannot be verified from these reports.
What's unclear
- Whether any report actually covers a Ukrainian drone strike on a Russian tanker in the Black Sea
- Whether the attached report was mislinked to this incident
- Whether the French derailment and the naval incident are unrelated events
