Russia declared a regional state of emergency in Crimea on Saturday, as workers cleared tons of contaminated sand on either side of the Kerch Strait following an oil spill in the Black Sea last month.
Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 and its annexation has not been recognized by most other countries.
Russia's emergencies ministry published video footage of dozens of workers in protective suits loading bags of dirt onto diggers and others removing sand with shovels.
The Russia-installed governor of Sevastopol said new traces of minor pollution required urgent elimination and declared a state of emergency in the city, giving authorities more power to take swift decisions such as ordering citizens to evacuate their homes.
