The US says it has seized an oil tanker with links to Russia and Venezuela, as well as another vessel in the Caribbean.
The US head of Homeland Security said the US Coast Guard conducted back-to-back boarding of two ghost fleet ships.
Earlier, several military aircraft were tracked heading towards the vessel in the North Atlantic.
Footage, shared by Russian media, also appears to show a helicopter close to that ship.
The ship is accused of breaking US sanctions and shipping Iranian oil.
Reports previously said Russia had deployed a submarine and other vessels to escort the tanker across the Atlantic.
