ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — A Russian warship under construction at a shipyard in St. Petersburg caught fire Friday, leaving no less than three employees injured.
The Provorny (Agile) corvette being constructed at the Severnaya Verf (Northern Shipyard) was fully engulfed by flames, and nearly 170 firefighters were participating in efforts to extinguish the blaze that sent huge plumes of smoke over Russia’s second-largest city.
