Authorities in Russia have declared a state of emergency two days after a tanker split in two in the Kerch Strait and another grounded.
Also on Tuesday, a third vessel controlled by Russia’s Volgotanker Volzhski Oil Shipping issued a distress call.
Sergei Shtrikov, the civil defence and emergencies minister for Krasnodar Krai, said the state of emergency was declared in two of the region’s municipalities, according to the Russian government-controlled TASS news agency.
