Firefighters have rushed to tackle a blaze which is raging aboard Russia’s sole aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov. Fire started during repair work and rapidly spread along the deck.
A short video, which has been circulating on social media, shows a team of firefighters with walkie-talkies on the snowy pier in the Barents Sea port city of Murmansk where the burning ship is docked.
Greyish smoke is seen billowing from the vessel’s deck. A fire truck and an ambulance van are also present at the scene.
Earlier, a short video surfaced which showed plumes of smoke erupting from the ship, before the sun had risen.
