Russia denounces attacks on oil tankers in Black Sea, accuses Ukraine

MOSCOW, Jan 14 (Reuters) - The Russian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday condemned drone strikes on oil tankers near a terminal on its Black Sea coast and accused Ukraine of attacking commercial ships.

"We strongly condemn yet another terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime on commercial civilian vessels that comply with all norms of international law," the ministry said. Ukraine has not commented on Tuesday's incident.

The Russian statement said Moscow fully supports a call by Kazakhstan for effective measures to ensure the security of oil transportation.
