Markab saliid ah oo loo heysto inuu ka tirsan yahay fleet-ka hooska ee Ruushka ayaa ku sii daayaa saliid xeebta Cumaan
Cumaan waxay wajahaysaa masiibo deegaan oo soo dhawaanaysa kadib markii markab tanker ah oo loo hayo inuu ka mid yahay fleet-ka hooska ee Ruushka uu saliid ku sii daayay boqolaal kiilomitir oo isku wareeg ah u dhow keyd dabiici ah. Sawirrada satelaytka ayaa muujinaya fiditaanka shidaalka.
Qaraxyo ka dhacay markabka iyo xaaladda fleet-ka Ruushka
Markabka ayaa qaraxyo ku dhacay, sida ay shaacisay shirkad ammaan badeed ah oo warbixin u gudbisay AFP, laakiin sababta qaraxyadaas lama garanayo. Markabku wuxuu ku xanniban yahay in ka badan bil xeebta koonfureed ee Cumaan u dhow jasiiradda al-Qibliyyah.
Ruushka wuxuu dhisay fleet-ka ghost-ka ee maraakiibta duugga ah ee lahaanshahoodu aanu cadayn tan iyo duullaanadii uu 2022 ku qaaday Ukraine si uu uga leexdo cunaqabateynta reer Galbeedka. Khubarada ayaa sheegay in xaaladda liidata ee maraakiibtaasu ay kordhisay khatarta daadka saliidda.
Fiditaanka daadka saliidda iyo digniinta Greenpeace
Sawirrada satelaytka ee AFP xaqiijisay ayaa muujinaya waxa u muuqda in daad saliid ah uu ka faafayo markabkaas. Meesha uu markabku ku sugan yahay waa mid uga fog marin-biyoodka Strait of Hormuz, kaas oo aad u arkay weerarro maraakiib ah oo joogto ah intii ay dagaalku socday.
Greenpeace ayaa digtay in cawaaqibka uu noqon karo mid 'daran oo waara'. Hay'addaas oo tixraacaysa sawirrada satelaytka ay dib u eegaysay ayaa sheegtay in muraayadda saliidda ay ka fiday ilaa 20 km laba jibbaaran July 24 ilaa qiyaastii 600 August 4.
Digniinta khubarada deegaanka
Nina Noelle oo ka tirsan Greenpeace ayaa AFP u sheegtay: 'With oil apparently continuing to leak and the vessel stranded in a difficult location, the risk of an even larger environmental disaster remains serious.' Hadalku wuxuu ka tarjumayaa welwelka ku saabsan khatarta sii kordheysa.
Hay'adda Greenpeace ayaa qortay in cawaaqibka masiibadaasi uu noqon karo mid 'severe and long-lasting'. Fiditaanka saliidda oo gaaray boqolaal kiilomitir oo isku wareeg ah ayaa sii xoojinaya baahida loo qabo tallaabo degdeg ah oo badbaadinta deegaanka.
A Russian shadow fleet tanker stranded off Oman's southern coast has been leaking oil across hundreds of square kilometres, prompting urgent warnings from environmental groups about a potentially devastating ecological disaster.
Ship Stranded Near Nature Reserve
Satellite imagery verified by AFP shows an oil slick spreading from a vessel that has been stranded for over a month near al-Qibliyyah island, off Oman's southern coast. The ship was rocked by explosions, though the cause of the blasts remains unclear, according to a maritime security firm.
The incident is far from the Strait of Hormuz, which has seen regular tanker attacks during the Middle East conflict, but the environmental threat posed by the leaking tanker is significant and growing.
Shadow Fleet and Sanctions Evasion
Russia has built up a ghost fleet of old ships with opaque ownership to circumvent Western sanctions since its 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Experts have warned that the vessels' poor condition significantly increases the risk of oil spills, contributing to the current crisis.
The expansion of the oil sheen from up to 20 square kilometres on July 24 to an estimated 600 square kilometres by August 4, as reviewed by satellite imagery, underscores the severity of the situation.
Environmental Groups Sound Alarm
Nina Noelle of Greenpeace told AFP: 'With oil apparently continuing to leak and the vessel stranded in a difficult location, the risk of an even larger environmental disaster remains serious.' She warned of a 'severe and long-lasting' consequence for the region.
Greenpeace has called for immediate action to address the spill, emphasizing the potential for long-term damage to the local ecosystem and marine life near the nature reserve.
