One source told the TASS news agency that the fire had started on the upper deck and that thick, black smoke was billowing from the vessel.

I just uploaded a video in the article. In port or in the sea, smoke and pollution are never far away from the rustbucket
Nice. Although the fire could be a little bigger. 😀
It’s spreading, it covers 500 sq metres last report I saw. LMAO
Great! 😂
“Human error could be the reason for the fire…”
Ya think?! I guess vodka and welding don’t mix very well….LMAO!!
RT know who is behind this fire, this one is a cracker. LMAO
“USA CIA drones with beam weapons designed for starting forest and house fires, taking out passenger planes, cargo planes and of course any installation or object on surface of our Earth”
Ah, the perfect excuse! Wait until they find out that the CIA is putting in curves on roads so drunk drivers fall off ;))
Yeah that tha tpretty much covers it.
Looks like old Ol’ Smoky is now Ol’ Sparky.
And to think just prior to her famous Mediterrainian cruise, Russians were bragging about how she was better than the RNs new Queen Elizabeth carrier!
HA HA HA ole smokey living up to its name , happy times .
This piece of crap has been an embarrassment since the beginning. It had 2 of its aircraft crashed in less than 2 weeks and was accompanied by tug boats wherever it went. Then a crane smashed into its hull and sank the dry dock it was in. Now this.
Along with numerous submarine disasters , exploding ammo dumps, a littany of aircraft crashes the list goes on.
REPAIRS RUSSIAN STYLE…………….
Yes, it should be noted this smoking monstrosity was undergoing upgrades and repairs. Moskali upgrades include reforging the flight deck I guess, LMAO!
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

THE TUGBOATS ARRIVED.
MOSCOW, December 12. /TASS/. The number of people injured in a fire onboard the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, which is under renovation in Murmansk, reached 10 people, an emergency source told TASS.
“Ten people were injured: they were mostly poisoned by combustion products,” the source said. Six people are in the intensive care unit. Just one injured person is in satisfactory condition.
A fire ignited on the cruiser on Thursday during repair work and engulfed 120 square meters. Diesel fuel is burning, and foam is being used to put it out. The fire was classified as a second, advanced, level of difficulty. The fire could have been caused by a violation of safety rules when carrying out welding work.
In other words: A bum filled with vodka caught fire during the welding works…
