据俄罗斯媒体早前报道，一艘俄罗斯油轮在刻赤海峡遭到乌克兰无人机的袭击，导致连接克里米亚与俄罗斯的战略桥梁交通短暂中断。
据俄罗斯国家通讯社塔斯社引述海上搜救中心的消息称，这艘油轮在袭击中受损，两艘拖船已抵达事发现场。
据报道，这艘载有11人的船上并未泄漏燃油。
《莫斯科时报》认定该船为被美国制裁的化学品油轮SIG，因向支持叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德的俄罗斯军队供应喷气燃料而受到制裁。
俄罗斯水运局表示，SIG油轮在刻赤海峡南部遭到袭击，于当地时间周五晚上11点20分（格林尼治标准时间20:20）被击中。俄罗斯联邦海上和内河交通管理局在Telegram上表示，SIG在机舱区域水线处出现了一个洞，"很可能是遭到了海上无人机的袭击"，但船还在浮在水上。据报道，该油轮周围已放置了油封布，并正在进行准备工作修补受损部位。
俄罗斯在乌克兰南部扎波罗热地区的代理人弗拉基米尔·罗戈夫在Telegram上表示，油轮机组的几名成员在袭击中受伤，其中一名成员被破碎的玻璃刺伤。罗戈夫写道："由于舰船上的爆炸引起的爆炸可以从半岛上看到，当地居民认为这是克里米亚桥附近的雅科文科沃定居点发生的爆炸事件。"
根据公路信息中心的Telegram频道，连接被莫斯科吞并的克里米亚半岛与俄罗斯的桥梁交通被暂停了约三个小时，并于周六早上恢复。
Marine Traffic船舶追踪网站显示，SIG油轮在海峡南部处于静止状态，并有拖船陪同。
这次黑海地区的最新袭击发生在乌克兰称其在俄罗斯南部的诺沃罗西斯克海军基地对一艘俄罗斯海军舰艇进行了海上无人机袭击的一天后。
俄罗斯周五表示已成功击退了一次袭击企图。
A Russian tanker was hit by Ukrainian drones in the Kerch Strait, briefly halting traffic on the strategic bridge linking Crimea to Russia, Russian media reported early Saturday.
The tanker was damaged in the attack and two tugboats had arrived at the scene, the state-run TASS news agency said, citing the Maritime Rescue Center.
No fuel had spilled from the ship, which had 11 people on board, TASS said.
The Moscow Times identified the vessel as the chemical tanker SIG, which is under U.S. sanctions for supplying jet fuel to Russian forces in Syria supporting President Bashar al-Assad.
The Russian tanker SIG was hit around 11:20 pm (2020 GMT) Friday south of the Kerch Strait, Russia's Federal Agency for Sea and Inland Water Transport said.
The SIG suffered a hole at the waterline in the area of the engine room, "presumably as a result of an attack by a marine drone," the agency said on Telegram. "The ship is afloat."
An oil boom had been placed around the vessel and preparations were under way to patch the damage, it said.
Vladimir Rogov, a Russian-installed official in the southern Ukrainian region of Zaporizhzhia, said several members of the ship's crew were injured by broken glass in the attack.
"The detonation due to the explosion on the ship was visible from the peninsula, which the local residents thought was an explosion in the vicinity of Yakovenkovo settlement not far from the Crimean bridge," Rogov wrote on Telegram.
Traffic on the bridge linking the Moscow-annexed Crimean peninsula to Russia was halted for around three hours and resumed early Saturday, according to the highways information center's Telegram channel.
The Marine Traffic vessel-tracking website showed the SIG stationary and attended by tugs just south of the strait.
The latest attack in the Black Sea came a day after Ukraine said it had carried out a seaborne drone strike on a Russian navy ship at Novorossiysk naval base in southern Russia.
Russia said Friday it had repelled an attempted attack on the base by the Ukrainian armed forces "with the use of two unmanned sea boats."
The number of attacks in the Black Sea by both sides has increased since Moscow exited a deal last month that had allowed Ukrainian grain exports via the shipping hub during the conflict between the two countries.
