Russia launched a rescue operation after two oil tankers were wrecked off Crimea, with one vessel breaking apart and resulting in at least one death. A heavy storm caused the Volgoneft 212 to sink, leading to an oil spill in the Kerch Strait.
Russian authorities have opened criminal investigations into safety violations related to the incidents. The second tanker, Volgoneft 239, is also in distress after sustaining damage. Both vessels are Russian-flagged and were built in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Times Of Israel: IDF: Dozens of terror operatives killed in overnight raid in north Gaza’s Beit Hanoun
Israeli troops from the Givati Infantry Brigade conducted a raid in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza, targeting a concentration of terrorists, resulting in the deaths of dozens of operatives. Additional operations in Beit Lahiya and Jabalia involved ground combat and airstrikes against Hamas, with the IDF claiming to have killed around 2,000 operatives since early September.
