Following the sinking of two Russian oil tankers in the Kerch Strait, over 30 dead marine mammals have been reported, raising alarm over a potential oil spill. The NGO Delpha has linked at least 32 of the recorded deaths to the environmental disaster, which occurred on December 15, 2023. Cleanup efforts are underway as significant pollution threatens local ecosystems, with over 96,000 tons of contaminated sand already removed from affected shorelines. Concerns continue to grow as the situation evolves.
