Investigation Suggests “Grande Arusha” Shipment Linked to North Korea
A Russian cargo ship, the “Grande Arusha,” which sank off the southeastern coast of Spain in December 2024, may have been transporting nuclear reactors to North Korea, according to recent reports. The 142-meter long ship, flagged as Russian and owned by the state-owned Oboronlogistics company, was en route from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok when it suffered a series of explosions and subsequently sank approximately 62 miles off the coast of Murcia.
The incident occurred on December 23, 2024, with the Spanish rescue and security naval service, Sasemar, alerted to the situation eleven hours prior. Investigations are ongoing, but preliminary findings suggest the “Grande Arusha” was carrying submarine nuclear reactors. The sinking of the russian ship remains under scrutiny.
Authorities are examining the circumstances surrounding the explosions and the ship’s cargo manifest. The exact nature of the reactors and their intended destination remain key areas of investigation. This development adds to the complexities surrounding the “Grande Arusha” incident and raises concerns about potential illicit maritime transport.
