A safety violation could have caused a fire on the Provorny corvette at a shipyard in St. Petersburg. This was announced on Friday, December 17, by the Russia-24 TV channel.
According to him, the fire began at the wheelhouse of the main command post and the tower-mast structure, but then the fire on the scaffolding spread to the fourth and fifth decks.
It is noted that the work of firefighters is complicated by the presence of paints and varnishes on board.
According to the preliminary version, the ship could catch fire due to violations of fire safety techniques during work.
At 22:49 the fire was localized. In total, four people were injured as a result of the fire. The condition of one of them is assessed as serious.
A source in the military-industrial complex told Izvestia that the corvette of the project 20385 “Agile” corvette under construction was not damaged in the fire, but the superstructure and the main antenna-mast device of the ship were seriously damaged.
The Provorny missile corvette is the second ship of Project 20385. It is equipped with cruise missiles, an ultra-long-range anti-aircraft system and a powerful radar capable of detecting targets hundreds of kilometers away.
