Russian resort beach goes bananas for locals

Residents of a seaside town in Russia were shocked to wake up to find their beaches covered with bananas.

Thousands of bananas were washed up on the beaches of Morskoy on the Baltic Sea in Russia's Kaliningrad region.

Locals began collecting the bananas to take home while children played with them, spelling out names of Russian cities in giant letters on the beach, according to Korrespondent.net.

Labels on the bananas said the fruit had come from Ecuador.

The bananas are believed to have been lost by a cargo ship in a recent storm.
