A massive oil slick containing around 900 metric tons of fuel oil from the December 2024 sinking of two aging tankers is drifting toward southern Russia’s Krasnodar region, regional officials said Thursday.
Governor Veniamin Kondratyev told the regional legislature that the slick was moving toward the key tourist and port coastlines of Temryuk and Taman, according to a televised meeting cited by the news outlet 7x7.
He called the oil slick’s movement a “second episode” of the December 2024 incident, which Russian authorities estimate spilled around 2,400 metric tons of fuel oil into the Black Sea.
