## Russian Cargo Ship Sinks in Mediterranean After Engine Room Explosion
A Russian cargo ship sank in the Mediterranean Sea after an explosion in its engine room on Sunday. The vessel, which was en route from a Turkish port to a North African destination, reportedly experienced the blast off the southern coast of Greece. Local maritime authorities confirmed that the explosion caused significant structural damage, leading to the vessel's rapid sinking.

The crew of 12 was promptly evacuated by nearby vessels and rescue services. Fortunately, no casualties were reported, though some crew members sustained minor injuries. Preliminary investigations suggest the explosion may have been caused by a mechanical failure, though authorities are not ruling out other possibilities, including improper cargo handling.

The ship, carrying industrial supplies, posed potential environmental concerns as diesel fuel and debris were seen spreading in the surrounding waters. Emergency response teams are working to contain the spill and assess ecological impacts.

This incident highlights the risks associated with aging maritime fleets and the challenges of ensuring safety and environmental protection in international waters. The Russian maritime authority has vowed to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident while collaborating with Greek authorities and other stakeholders.
