US forces boarded the first tanker in the North Atlantic - near Iceland, after pursuing it for weeks, declaring that it had been seized due to "violations of US sanctions." The ship was registered as a Russian vessel. Moscow has denounced the seizure as a violation of international law. The second vessel was seized in the Caribbean Sea.
