Sochi temporarily restricted access to its sea embankments and beaches, the city's authorities said. TASS, RIA Novosti, RBC and Kommersant all reported the measure, which RBC attributed to the city's operational headquarters and its mayor, Andrei Proshunin. [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]
Proshunin said the decision was taken after a meeting of the operational headquarters. In a message on his Telegram channel, quoted by Kommersant, he said: “I ask residents and guests of Sochi not to put themselves in danger and to wait for the official decision on reopening them. We are coordinating the actions of all services, assessing the situation and taking the necessary measures to extinguish the fire.” [ 3 , 4 ]
Kommersant reported the restrictions followed an attack by unmanned boats on the tanker Aframax Rio, which flies the flag of Liberia, off the Black Sea coast. The outlet said the attack occurred on 6 October and that open burning of oil continued in the water area. TASS referred to a fire on a tanker in the Black Sea, and RBC described the closure as following a strike on a tanker in the Black Sea. [ 1 , 3 , 4 ]
Citing preliminary Transport Ministry data, Kommersant reported there were no casualties and that the crew had been rescued. It said the crew included 23 citizens of India. No other document in the set gives casualty or crew information. [ 4 ]
Por qué importa
The closure of Sochi's seafront affects residents and visitors in a major resort city, and the decision was taken by the city's emergency headquarters rather than by any single service. A strike on a commercial tanker in the Black Sea, if confirmed by further official statements, touches shipping and the safety of international crews in the area.
