RUSSIA
Fire broke out on DELTA-IV class submarine YEKATERINBURG while in dry dock at Roslyakovo (near Murmansk) … wooden scaffolding caught fire which spread to outer hull (rmks: anechoic rubber coating). After hours of trying to put out the flames, officials decided to partially submerge the submarine within the dock.
Update: on 30 Dec morning fire reportedly “contained” (rmks: wording suggests still burning); nine people injured in fire-fighting, no radiation leak (reactor shut down ahead of yard period); no missiles on board.
