France Seizes Suspected Russian Ghost Fleet Tanker South of Réunion

French navy seized the tanker DF Peak on Monday, 450 nautical miles south of Réunion, on suspicion of sailing under a false flag and involvement in fuel transport linked to Russia's ghost fleet. President Macron announced the operation, underscoring France's commitment to countering Russian sanctions evasion. The seizure marks a notable enforcement action in the Indian Ocean, expanding Western interdiction efforts beyond traditional European waters.
