A Russian submarine capable of carrying nuclear weapons has raised alarms in the Mediterranean Sea. The Black Sea Fleet submarine, named Novorossiysk, has reported an "explosive hazard" allegedly onboard. This situation has prompted significant concern regarding the vessel's safety and operational status.
Reports indicate that the submarine is facing "serious technical problems". According to the Telegram channel VChK-OGPU, the Novorossiysk is experiencing a fuel leak, which poses a dangerous risk. The crew may be forced to pump the fuel mixture into the sea to mitigate the hazard.
The exact location of the submarine within the Mediterranean remains unclear, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the situation. The implications of a nuclear-capable submarine facing such issues in a busy maritime area are significant, raising questions about regional security and environmental safety.
