Two tankers have caught fire near Sulina, Romania, at the mouth of the Danube on the Black Sea. Seven crew members of a San Marino-flagged chemical tanker were still missing hours after the fire broke out. The vessel was at anchor off the Danube's mouth when it ignited.
Bulgaria, meanwhile, has said it lacks proof that Russia is behind attacks on ships in the Black Sea. The source says the statement concerns attacks on vessels in the region, but gives no further details.
The source text does not state what caused the fires, name or describe the second tanker, or report on rescue efforts. It is therefore unclear whether the two incidents are linked.
