It came a day after a mystery fire at Vladimir Putin’s only aircraft carrier while the vessel was under repairs from an earlier inferno.

The ill-fated Admiral Kuznetsov was docked in the Zvyozdochka shipyard in Murmansk for repairs when the blaze started on the vessel which has been beset with problems.

The fire erupted in the cabins on the port side of the flagship of the Russian navy, which also caught fire in 2019.

The blaze today could further delay the Admiral Kuznetsov’s return to active deployment.
