Russian Nuclear Sub 'On Fire In Dry Dock'

A Russian nuclear submarine has caught fire in a shipyard, according to news agency RIA Novosti.

"There is a fire on the submarine. We are fighting the fire now," a source told Interfax news agency.

The 500m-long (1,640ft6) 949 Antei was being repaired in Zvyozdochka shipyard in Russia's northern province of Arkhangelsk, according to Russian news agency reports.

The information was reportedly revealed by a Russian police source.

The emergencies ministry and the shipyard itself refused to comment and there has been no word on casualties.

The ship reportedly caught fire as welding works were being carried out, with rubber insulation catching fire.

One source told Tass news agency that the submarine's nuclear reactor had been shut down before the blaze.

"The active zone of the reactor was unloaded at the start of repairs a few years ago," the source said.

A nuclear-powered submarine carrying atomic weapons was engulfed in flames in 2011, nearly leading to a nuclear disaster.

Officials had insisted the sub was not armed.
