Kiev has released video of Ukrainian naval drone attacks against Russian "shadow fleet" oil tankers off the coast of Turkey.
The footage, verified by the BBC, shows naval drones speeding through the waves towards the ships, before exploding in a huge fireball, sending black smoke into the air.
According to a statement from Turkish authorities, the targets of the attacks were the tankers Kairos and Virat, both of which were flying the Gambian flag.
The attacks took place off the Turkish coast in the Black Sea on Friday, while the Virat was targeted again on Saturday morning. No casualties were reported.
According to Ukrainian officials, the coordinated attacks were carried out by Ukraine's SBU security service in cooperation with the navy, using "Sea Baby" naval drones.
The two tankers, which are subject to Western sanctions, were suspected of carrying Russian oil in an attempt to circumvent global restrictions.
The attacks appear to be an escalation by Kiev, which is trying to hit Russia's oil revenues, which are vital for financing its war in Ukraine.
Unlike Russia, which bombs cities, Ukraine hits the economic backbone of the war.

And while the world still can't deal with Russia's shadow fleet, Ukraine does it alone.
