A US Coast Guard cutter has been pursuing a Russian oil tanker, with reports indicating this is the first time such a pursuit has occurred. The tanker, which has been linked to Venezuela and is reportedly part of a "dark fleet", has been the subject of a weeks-long pursuit across the Atlantic, with the US ultimately seizing the vessel. However, there are conflicting reports about the pursuit's outcome, with some outlets suggesting the tanker evaded the US Coast Guard, while others indicate it was caught.
