Krasnodar governor Veniamin Kondratyev said the ferry had caught fire at Port Kavkaz but there was no risk of it spreading.

The port lies a few kilometres from the Kerch bridge, which enables road and rail travel between Russia and the Crimean peninsula, which Russia illegally annexed in 2014.

"Unfortunately there are injured and dead among the crew and port staff," Mr Kondratyev said.

He added that emergency services were on the scene.
