03/11/2010 

Three Russian sailors died in March 9-10 at Greek tanker Arionas in La Manche strait, said Christelle Aar, press secretary of French maritime prefecture of La Manche and North Sea.

Russian foreign ministry has no official confirmation of death of Russian citizens yet and expects for information from the tanker's shipmaster or French authorities.
