Russia Surveyed the Hulk of Arctic Metagaz in its Criminal Investigation
The Russian Investigative Committee released details after surveying the wreck of the gas carrier Arctic Metagaz, continuing its forensic investigation into the incident as an act of international terrorism. A team of investigators, assisted by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Defense, traveled to Libya and used unmanned aerial vehicles and underwater vehicles to inspect the vessel, documenting evidence of fire, destruction of control systems, and damage to two of four LNG tanks. The Committee asserted the vessel was attacked on March 3 off the coast of Malta by unmanned aerial vehicles and boats armed with explosive devices, and recovered the vessel's data recorder for computer-technical examination.
