U.S. Indo-Pacific Command released footage of its forces interdicting a sanctioned oil tanker in the Indian Ocean.

U.S. Navy helicopters landed U.S. forces on the stateless vessel MT Davina, in an operation described as a “maritime interdiction and right-of-visit boarding.” The oil supertanker, capable of carrying up to 2 million barrels of crude oil, according to the Military Times, was sanctioned in October 2024 for trading Iranian oil.
