WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) — The U.S. European Command said Wednesday it seized a Venezuela-linked oil tanker registered as Russian during an operation in the North Atlantic.
"The seizure of the vessel Bella 1 for violating U.S. sanctions was announced today. The vessel was seized in the North Atlantic Ocean pursuant to a warrant issued by a U.S. federal court after being tracked by the U.S. Coast Guard cutter (USCGC) Munro," the command said in a statement on the X social media platform.
USCGC Munro is a Legend-class cutter designed for long-range, high-complexity missions. It is one of the largest vessels in the U.S. Coast Guard fleet.
