MOSCOW ? Four sailors were killed when a fire broke out on a trawler off Russia's Sakhalin island overnight, Russian news agencies reported Tuesday.

Firefighters took nearly three hours to put out the flames in the Tropik-1 trawler, and "found four bodies in the ship's crew section," local rescue service officials were quoted as saying by Interfax.

The reasons for the fire were not immediately known.
