Thanks in advance.
The pictures show her down at the stern. She was stationary at the time of the incident according to the local media, so she did not hit anything, she was struck by the Maltese flagged tanker. 'Rammed' was the term some media outlets used.

Interestingly, the anti NATO Russian agitprop and misinformation started straight away, claiming damage to her bow.
