Krasnodar Krai is on heightened alert over a possible petroleum spill. Greenpeace says an oil slick around the Aframax Rio, which caught fire off Sochi on October 6, has grown to about 25 square kilometers and spread along the coast. Authorities deny pollution from the tanker but have restricted swimming at Sochi beaches. Volunteers have found birds coated in petroleum products.
