Kamchatka Responds to Reports of Submarine Damage During Earthquake

Reports on Telegram channels indicated that an atomic submarine was damaged in Kamchatka due to an earthquake and tsunami. It was alleged that a crack had formed in the nuclear reactor compartment, resulting in radioactive water entering the Avachinskaya Bay.

The Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy and the government of the Kamchatka region have denied these claims. The management center of the Kamchatka region pointed out that the unreliability of this information is evident from the grammatical errors in the document, the use of colloquial terms in what appeared to be official correspondence, and other details.
