Oil spill stretches 12 km off Oman coast
Report on an oil spill caused by the drift of an oil tanker off the coast of Oman, where the oil slick extends over a 12-kilometer stretch and affects the beaches of Ras Madhrakah. The shores of Masirah Island remain unaffected thanks to response efforts. Oil began reaching the coast after several weeks of the spill, with ongoing monitoring and response operations to protect the marine environment and contain the spread of pollution. The incident involves a tanker carrying approximately 800,000 barrels of Russian oil. The initial polluted area has been reduced to about 400 square kilometers, but there are concerns about the pollution reaching the mainland and impacting marine life and ecological systems in the region.
