Mario Nawfal(@MarioNawfal):🇷🇺 A Russian icebreaker caught fire today at the Kronstadt yard outside St. Petersburg, the same hull that burned in 2024. The 1975-built Admiral Makarov was in the shop when its hold caught fire. Crews contained about 80 square meters and extinguished it within two hours. No injuries were reported. You cannot keep the Northern Route open if the icebreaker spends its life in a smoke-filled dock. Writer: Lucas
