Russian sub had nukes aboard during fire MURMANSK, Russia, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- A Russian sub had nuclear-tipped missiles and other weapons aboard when it caught fire in dry dock during December repairs in the arctic, a newspaper reported. The Russian Defense Ministry had said all weapons had been unloaded before the nuclear submarine Yekaterinburg entered the dock at Roslyakovo shipyard outside the northwestern Russian city Murmansk, RIA Novosti reported. But the newspaper Kommersant Vlast reported Monday the sub "was in the dock with torpedoes and missiles on board" during the Dec. 29 fire. The Yekaterinburg, launched in 1984, can carry 16 intercontinental ballistic missiles, each with four warheads, and 12 torpedoes. No one was killed in the blaze, which began when wooden scaffolding next to the sub caught fire and flames spread to the sub. Officials said no radiation had leaked from the sub. Weapons are usually removed from docked nuclear subs but it's often left to commanders to decide whether to remove them, Kommersant Vlast said. Unloading, which can take up to two weeks, can delay scheduled maneuvers.
