18 beaches are closed in the UK because of fuel oil.
In the British county of Kent, 18 beaches were closed after an oil spill from an unknown source. This is reported by the "Sun". The story goes that the beaches were closed after oil slicks were found along the east coast of Kent.
According to the publication, they apparently appeared after an oil spill nearby. The authorities are investigating and trying to determine the source of the contamination. Access to the beaches has been blocked, and local residents are advised to avoid walking nearby.
"Warning signs have been installed and all access roads are temporarily closed," the publication said. In the past, it was reported in the media that the holiday of the Russian tourists in the United Arab Emirates was ruined due to a fuel oil leak after a tanker was hit in the Strait of Hormuz.
