In the English Channel British forces have boarded a sanctioned Russian oil tanker in what the government says was the first UK-led operation of its kind. Royal Marine Commandos and National Crime Agency officers spent six hours on the vessel, the SMYRTOS, with support from helicopters, an RAF P-8 aircraft, and Royal Navy ships. The tanker is now being held off the south coast while investigators continue their work. London says the move is aimed at Russia’s shadow fleet and the oil revenue feeding the war in Ukraine. In sports The New York Knicks have won their first NBA championship since 1973, beating the San Antonio Spurs 94-90. New York has waited a while for this one, and the parade planning can probably begin before the confetti settles.
