Russia says submersible fire tragedy is ‘state secret’

Moscow (Liberal Tribune): The Kremlin has brushed apart inquiries about Russian submarine accident, a fire on a deep-water submersible that left 14 Russian sailors dead, telling newspapers Wednesday that key details about the incident were a “state secret.”

New Details on Russian Submarine accident:

State news agencies informed Tuesday that submariners passed away from smoke inhalation after a fire broke out on the vehicle, which was shipping out research in Russian defensive waters.

The fire was later snuffed out and the submersible, which is minor than a submarine and has minimum energy reserves, is currently at the naval base in Severomorsk on the Barents Sea.

In answer to a question on which ship or station was concerned, Kremlin officer Dmitry Peskov said Russian President Vladimir Putin knew facts but that they would not be announced.
