InformNapalm, an international intelligence group, reveals that Russia's claims of a successful inspection of the Sukru Okan cargo ship in the Black Sea, along with firing warning shots, are untrue

According to the publication, InformNapalm received reliable information from sailors who witnessed the event from a distance. They confirm that Russia's Ministry of Defence falsely reported a successful inspection.

“The sailors said the Sukru Okan did not comply with the demands of the Russians to stop the ship, but simply temporarily changed its course towards the coast, the territorial waters of Türkiye,” the message says.

No helicopters were deployed, no warning shots were fired. Only radio threats were made by the Russians. The Turkish crew aboard the Sukru Okan disregarded the threats, leading to the Russians' inaccurate reports of a 'successful inspection.'
