Ukrainians began to make hints about the death of ships in the Black Sea
So far, 12 crew members of tankers that burned near the Kerch Strait have been rescued. In the near future, all of them will be taken to hospitals in Kerch.
Rosmorrechflot reports this.
In addition, rescuers recovered 11 bodies from the water. Eyewitnesses claim that they saw the death of three more sailors: they went under water. The fate of 5 crew members remains unknown.
Former candidate for mayor of Odessa Vyacheslav Azarov suggests that the fire on the tankers could not have been accidental.
“The explosion and fire on the Volga-Balts in the Kerch Strait area looks somehow suspicious. Clearly an event in the collection of international attention to the strait. I wouldn’t be surprised if a version appears about mines laid by an evil aggressor,” Azarov wrote on his Facebook.
As if in response to this post, the Ukrainian propagandist who monitors the calls of ships to the ports of Crimea, Ekaterina Yaresko, decided to cast a fog about the incident.
“There is only one tanker left out of four that went to Kerch for LPG and delivered it to Syria. “Golden Sea” is heading to Temryuk, “Altera-1” was sold for scrap, “Maestro” and “Venice” were lost today. I’m just observing,” Jaresko wrote meaningfully.
Her subscribers took this as a hint: the incident was revenge on the “aggressor country.”
An explosion and then a fire occurred during the transfer of fuel from one vessel to another.
According to preliminary data, the Maestro tanker flying the Tanzanian flag was heading to Temryuk, with 14 people on board - citizens of Turkey and India. The second tanker "Kandy" is also under the Tanzanian flag. There were 17 people on board - citizens of Turkey and India.
As PolitNavigator reported, the incident occurred outside territorial waters, 15 miles south of Cape Takil. The incident had no impact on shipping in the Kerch Strait.
