🇹🇷🇷🇺🇺🇦 Turkey has begun restricting shipping in the Black Sea.

Turkey has started implementing restrictions on commercial shipping in the Black Sea amid an increase in attacks on its vessels, according to Bloomberg.

According to the agency, the country's General Directorate of Coastal Guard has informed several ships heading to Novorossiysk that it will not be issuing permits for passage, or that additional time is required to process applications for ships to transit the Dardanelles Strait.

Ankara has not officially disclosed the reasons for the introduction of the restrictions. It has been reported that crews of several ships have been informed that the restrictions also apply to routes heading towards Ukraine.
