Turkey limits Black Sea commercial ships
Turkey has taken steps to restrict the movement of commercial ships in the Black Sea due to escalating Russian and Ukrainian attacks on vessels in the area. Turkish authorities have notified several ships— including those headed to the Russian port of Novorossiysk— that no transit permits are currently being issued or that transit requests through the Dardanelles Strait are under review. This move limits the flow of ships, affects global trade, and hampers the movement of oil and grains. Attacks on ships owned by Turkey have also increased, with warnings that these escalations could impact food security. This measure comes after several crew members were injured in drone attacks on Turkish vessels, and as concerns grow over how tensions might affect the supply of grains and oil in the region.
