The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said Royal Marine commandos and specially trained law enforcement officers from the National Crime Agency boarded a sanctioned oil tanker during a six-hour operation – the first UK-led operation of its kind.
The vessel Smyrtos will be provisionally moved to an anchorage off the south coast of England and be monitored for any environmental or safety concerns.

- Armed forces minister Al Carns and Defence Secretary John Healey have both quit with a scathing attack on Sir Keir's military funding plans.
The former defence secretary resigned after claiming the money in the defence investment plan would not be sufficient to defend the UK against threats.
In response, Starmer said: “I will always do what is needed to keep our country safe.”
Speaking to LBC for the first time since quitting, Mr Carns said: "I have never quit anything in my life. It's the first thing I've quit. But sometimes you've got to make a principled decision, and that's what I've done. And hopefully it will result in the right solution as we move forward."
As Keir Starmer faces fresh blows, James O’Brien says the British public ‘are nowhere near spooked enough’ by military spending.

Read his letter in full below.
This is a letter I never expected to write, and I do so now with great regret and reluctance.
I am proud of what we have done in less than two years as a Labour Government. We've stepped up to lead internationally for Ukraine with the Coalition of the Willing and Ukraine Defence Contact Group, established Britain as a leading voice for Europe in NATO, raised defence investment to 2.5% of GDP three years earlier than anyone expected, launched the deepest defence reforms in 50 years, won the biggest UK defence export deals for decades, published a first-of-its-kind Strategic Defence Review, gave our Armed Forces the biggest pay rise in nearly 20 years, boosted military morale, fixed over 1,200 of the worst forces family homes, reset relations with European allies and signed major defe...

- Former Defence Secretary Lord Hutton and LBC’s Natasha Clark join Shelagh Fogarty to make sense of John Healey’s surprise resignation.
In a damning letter to the Prime Minister, Mr Healey said he was left with "no option" but to step down from the role.
The letter criticised Sir Keir Starmer’s unwillingness to commit enough resources to defence, highlighting the growing resources required amid the Iran war, threats from Russia in the High North, and escalation in the Ukraine conflict.
Accusing the PM of failing to properly fund the Defence Investment Plan (DIP), Mr Healey said the current proposal "does not give our Forces the investment they need".
As part of the two-page letter, Mr Healey outlined "the scale of the challenge" facing Britain, admitting: "I'm being forced to make decisions that would reduce the readiness of our Forces and increase the risk to personnel on operations, and could make the country less safe."
