Environmentalists have discovered the bodies of 11 dolphins believed to have been affected by a recent oil spill in the Black Sea.

Earlier, witnesses found 6 dead dolphins in Russia's Krasnodar territory with no signs of fuel oil intoxication on a beach and two more in the water.

The two tankers were severely damaged in a storm on December 15. An oil spill had occurred in the Black Sea as a result of the accident. Satellite monitoring data indicated that more than 3,000 tons of fuel oil leaked.
