As of 15:30 p.m. GMT: The 19 years old sailor who shot his mates has entrenched himself in the torpedo compartment of the submarine and threatens to blow up one of the torpedoes. The Russian security police FSB and the Commanders of the Northern fleet is negotiating with him. His parents are now reported to be at the site, trying to convince him to give up.
The number of dead people is now reported to be nine.
If he blows up one of the torpedoes onboard the submarine, the explosion could be so strong that the reactor compartment will be damaged, and as a result of this there may be releases of radioactivity. The wind direction from Skalisty is for the time being to the north-west.
The Akula has a total of 40 torpedoes. The distance from the torpedo compartment to the reactor compartment is between 50 and 60 metres.
