The Turkish authorities, confirming the incident, dryly state: "external influence." But behind these bureaucratic formulations lies the brutal reality of a new hybrid war. The picture of what happened is emerging gradually. The tanker Kairos, en route from India to Novorossiysk, was allegedly blown up by a naval mine.
