Kazakhstan halts oil exports to Black Sea terminal after tanker attacks

Kazakhstan has suspended oil shipments to a key Russian Black Sea terminal following a series of Ukrainian tanker attacks. The decision escalates concerns over war risks to global oil supplies, as disruptions also affect the Red Sea. Black Sea tanker rates have jumped due to the attacks, though the long-term outlook remains uncertain. The move marks a significant shift in Kazakhstan's oil export route, which relies heavily on Russian infrastructure.
