MOSCOW — Russia’s nuclear agency says five of its employees were killed when a rocket engine exploded during a test at a far-northern military base.
Soon after Thursday’s explosion, the Russian Defense Ministry said two people died and four were injured, including servicemen and civilian engineers. It was not immediately clear if the five fatalities cited in a Saturday statement by Rosatom were all in addition to the previously reported deaths. The explosion occurred at a military shooting range in Nyonoksa in the northwestern Arkhangelsk region. Nyonoksa hosts a navy facility that serves as a base for testing intercontinental ballistic missiles intended for nuclear submarines.
Lucky (for once) they hadn't put that on a submarine yet. How many Kursks have they had?
