What happened
A heightened readiness regime has been in effect in the Krasnodar region since October 13 due to the threat of oil product spills near Novorossiysk and Gelendzhik. This followed the Aframax Rio oil tanker catching fire near Sochi on October 6. Ecologists reported that pollution had spread to Anapa.

Why it matters
The heightened readiness regime and pollution threat affect coastal economic activity in the region. Furthermore, the tanker fire near Sochi led to beach closures and restricted access in Sochi, which materially harms the tourism sector.
