MOSCOW — A cargo ship carrying wheat has sunk in the Sea of Azov, leaving one person dead and two missing, a Russian-installed official said on Sunday in a post on the Telegram messaging app.

Vladimir Saldo, Moscow-installed leader of the Russian-controlled parts of Ukraine's Kherson region, said nine crew members were found alive on the shore—all Russian nationals.

An aide to the captain has died and two people are unaccounted for, Saldo said, adding that an investigation into the incident is under way. — Reuters
