flag A Russian submarine in the Mediterranean faces a fuel leak crisis with no repair options, risking explosion.

flag A Russian Kilo-class submarine, the Novorossiysk, is reportedly facing a serious technical crisis in the Mediterranean Sea, with a fuel leak creating an explosion risk due to damaged fuel systems. flag The 242-foot vessel, part of the Black Sea Fleet and capable of carrying nuclear-tipped Kalibr missiles, lacks spare parts and qualified personnel to repair the issue, prompting reports that the crew may pump fuel into the sea. flag The submarine, which has a crew of 52 and can remain submerged for up to 45 days, was tracked by UK forces in July and August as it passed through the North Sea, English Channel, and Gibraltar. flag No official confirmation has been issued by Russian authorities, and the incident highlights ongoing concerns about the reliability and transparency of Russia’s naval operations.
