Sochi23 Indian sailors were rescued from a burning crude tanker.
Sailors from India carry the risk as both sides target Black Sea shipping.

Kyiv has not commented, though Ukraine says strikes on Russian oil infrastructure answer Moscow’s nightly barrages.
Firefighters will approach once the fire eases, and officials have restricted access to Sochi’s coast.
