Mama Dearest,

It looks like TURKISH DAILY NEWS.com is the most current of these
three options (and in English, too). None of these sites disturbed my
computer.

Russian oil tanker explodes, six people missing

Six people are missing after an oil tanker exploded on a Russian river near the Arctic.

The tanker was believed to be carrying 600 to 800 tonnes of petrol and 180 tonnes of oil. Six people were taken to hospital, four of them in a serious condition.

It was unclear what had triggered the blast, which happened while the tanker was being unloaded near a village in the republic of Yakutiya.

Initial reports suggested the explosion was in the engine room of the tanker.

Emergency service officials say local residents were evacuated from nearby villages because of the possibility of a further explosion from the burning tanker.
