Dolphin Mortality

AI summaryThe article reports that the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war has caused the death of over 120,000 dolphins in the Black Sea since 2022, according to researcher Ivan Rusev from Ukraine's Tuzly Lagoons National Park. It attributes the mass marine life deaths to explosions, missile tests, and sonar systems, while also noting the ecological damage from chemical and oil leaks, as well as the 2023 Kakhovka dam collapse. Russia, however, claims that parasites and viruses are the actual cause of the dolphin deaths.
