A Russian nuclear-powered submarine suffered light damage to its hull after being hit by a fishing boat in the Pacific and is undergoing repairs in port, naval officials said Sept. 22.
No one was injured or radiation released in the accident, which occurred on the southeastern tip of the Kamchatka Peninsula facing the Bering Sea, news agencies quoted regional navy sources as saying.
“The submarine suffered insignificant damage to its external hull,” an unnamed source told the RIA Novosti news agency.
“There was no release of radiation,” another Russian Pacific Fleet source told Interfax.
