Two crew members died and 11 were rescued after a fire broke out on a ship in the Black Sea which later sank, Romania's interior ministry announced Monday, without specifying what caused the blaze.
"At around 11:00, Coast Guard border police officers were informed that a fire had broken out on board a commercial vessel located within Romania's exclusive economic zone, approximately 30 nautical miles south of Sfantu Gheorghe," it said in a statement.
