An accident in the docks in Russia's north on Tuesday damaged the country's only aircraft carrier and left one person missing and four injured, officials said.
A floating dock sank early morning in Murmansk, dropping a crane on the deck of the Admiral Kuznetsov carrier, the United Shipbuilding Corporation said. The corporation's chief, Alexei Rakhmanov, insisted, however, that this did not cause serious damage.
"Obviously when a 70-ton crane crashes on the deck there could be damage," Rakhmanov said in comments carried by the Interfax news agency, but "preliminary reports show that the damage that the ship has suffered is not significant."
