QA-24, 29 November 2025, Statement of the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Öncü Keçeli, in Response to a Question Regarding the Attacks on Two Commercial Tankers in the Black Sea
We view with concern the attacks carried out yesterday (28 November) against the Gambian-flagged commercial tankers “KAIROS” and “VIRAT” in the Black Sea.
These incidents, which occurred within Türkiye’s Exclusive Economic Zone in the Black Sea, have posed serious risks to the safety of navigation, life, property, and the environment in the region.
We are maintaining our contacts with the relevant parties to prevent the spread and further escalation of the war across the Black Sea, and to avoid any negative impact on Türkiye’s economic interests and activities in the region.
