스리랑카 인근 컨테이너선 화재 11일째…해변 등 환경 오염 심각

Sri Lanka is facing its worst-ever beach pollution as tons of plastic pellets and debris wash ashore from a burning container ship.
Officials in the country say the microplastic waste could cause years of ecological damage, threatening marine life and tourism sites.
Thousands of military and security personnel are cleaning the beaches,... and firefighting operations,... with the help of international salvage experts, have continued for an 11th day.
The Singapore-registered ship, MV X-Press Pearl, caught fire on May 20th as it waited to enter Colombo harbor.
The local authorities believe the fire was caused by a nitric acid leak.
