Azerbaijan rescued all nine crew members of an Iranian cargo vessel on Friday before it sunk in the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan's state maritime agency says.
Iran says the ship was owned by private sector, without giving details about the owner of the vessel.
"The ship was carrying tiles ... all members of the crew, seven Iranians and two Indians, were rescued. It sank due to flooding," the deputy head of Iran's Ports and Maritime Organisation, Jalil Eslami, tells the country's state news agency IRNA.
