U.S. military seizes a Russian-flagged oil tanker in the North Atlantic

The U.S. military, with reported help from the United Kingdom, seized a Russian-flagged oil tanker in the North Atlantic. The vessel was linked to Venezuela, and the operation involved a pursuit.

Russia responded by sending navy ships and, according to some reports, a submarine to escort the tanker. Moscow also demanded 'humane' treatment for the ship's crew.
