Senegal is not in the black sea. So if they’re right about the location, i doubt this was Ukraine.
According to sources, the diesel was on a smoking break when the explosions occurred.
On the one hand, they are at war. On the other hand, they’re generally grossly incompetent. Hard to pin down a causative root with so many possible options.

Great for Ukraine. Not so for the environment — another casualty of war.
