Oil pollution appeared at a resort popular with Russians. An oil spill off the coast of the emirate of Umm al-Quwain in the United Arab Emirates occurred after an attack on the Panina No. 2 tanker. According to satellite data, the slick continues to grow and has already reached local beaches. The country's authorities have devoted all their efforts to eliminating the consequences of the spill, but damage to the ecosystem is inevitable, researchers warn.
