The Suezmax-class tanker Nordic Zenith, chartered by ExxonMobil, was struck by two drones near the Caspian Pipeline Consortium terminal off Novorossiysk, Russia. The attack caused a fire that was later extinguished; 13 crew were evacuated by nearby CPC vessels while nine crew remained aboard. The vessel has been removed from CPC's loading schedule and is deemed unfit for mooring or loading operations.
