Two Russian oil tankers collided in a storm, causing an oil spill, one death, and prompting a rescue operation.

Two Russian oil tankers, Volgoneft-212 and Volgoneft-239, were severely damaged in a storm in the Kerch Strait, resulting in an oil spill and one fatality. Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a rescue operation to mitigate the environmental impact. Over 50 personnel were deployed, including helicopters and rescue tugboats, to assist in the operation. The Kerch Strait is a vital shipping route between Russia and Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014.
