medium article 2 min

Le ministère libyen de la Défense a annoncé avoir stabilisé le méthanier russe Arctic Métagaz, touché début mars probablement par un drone naval au large de la Libye. Le navire, sanctionné par les États-Unis et l'UE pour son appartenance à la "flotte fantôme" russe, transportait du gaz naturel liquéfié et du fioul. Bien que l'équipage ait été secouru et une opération de remorquage ait été entreprise pour l'éloigner des côtes libyennes, le risque de pollution marine demeure une préoccupation majeure pour les écologistes libyens. L'épave, initialement proche de Zouara, a été remorquée vers les eaux internationales. La Russie a accusé l'Ukraine d'avoir mené une attaque terroriste contre le navire.
