According to official reports, a fire broke out in the battery compartment, and the nuclear power plant was not damaged. The titanium hull of the special-purpose submarine was allegedly not damaged either.
In that fire, 14 submariners died, including two Heroes of Russia.
According to TASS, the total duration of repairs at the Losharik underwater nuclear power plant will be up to 4 years. The information service refers to a source in the military-industrial complex.
