Fire breaks out on Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov; the warship, launched in the mid-1980s, has spent most of its 30-year life tied up in port undergoing repairs.
Two crew members were injured in the fire, the Associated Press reported, citing the Russian Northern Fleet’s press service.
Despite the problems with the ship, the Kremlin has in recent years leaned heavily on it to project an image of resurgent Russian naval strength. But problems have continued to arise, limiting the impact of the ship’s image to Russian state media audiences. Once parked off the coast of Syria, Kuznetsov’s air wing took part in Russia’s early aerial campaign in that conflict. However, this was also not without incident: the ship lost two fighter jets to the sea when its arrestor wires — the cables that catch landing planes — snapped.
