THE war in Ukraine is killing off dolphins with some washing up on shore with burn marks.

More than 700 dolphins in the Black Sea – part of the Atlantic Ocean bordered by Ukraine and Russia – are estimated to have died since the war broke out in February.

Scientists believe the conflict has affected their ability to move about, find food and even talk to each other.
