As reported, on July 17, 2013, a motorboat of the Coast Guard of the Russian Border Service collided with a Ukrainian fishing launch, which it was allegedly chasing for poaching in Russia’s territorial waters in the Azov Sea near the village of Vorontsovka. As a result, the fishing boat with Ukrainians capsized. One of the Ukrainian fishermen was rescued, the bodies of the two were found, and another two were missing.
