Russia blames Ukrainian naval drones as tanker sinks in Mediterranean

A Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker has sunk in the Mediterranean between Libya and Malta after it was hit by explosions and a fire, Libyan port officials have said, BBC reported. 

Russia accused Ukraine of targeting the Arctic Metagaz with "uncrewed sea drones" launched from the Libyan coast. 

Ukraine's SBU state security service has not commented on the allegation and the Libyan port authority said the cause of the fire was unclear, according to BBC.
