US military announces new seizure of sanctioned tanker in Caribbean

The U.S. military on Wednesday announced the seizure of a sanctioned tanker ship in the Caribbean Sea, the second vessel taken by American forces that day.

U.S. personnel "apprehended a stateless, sanctioned dark fleet motor tanker without incident. The interdicted vessel, M/T Sophia, was operating in international waters and conducting illicit activities in the Caribbean Sea," U.S. Southern Command, which is responsible for the area, said in a post on X.
