16 cruise missiles were unloaded from Kursk. The remaining six missiles of Granit type will be unloaded at the Nerpa shipyard in Snezhnogorsk, Murmansk region. According to the Northern fleet press secretary, Vladimir Navrotsky, this decision has been made due to severe damages of the missile tubes after powerful explosion onboard the Kursk. The missiles should be cut out together with the tubes.
Before transporting the Kursk to the shipyard all the wholes and openings should be plugged and welded.
The shipyard Nerpa in Snezhnogorsk has all the necessary equipment for decommissioning and missiles extraction. Missiles shafts are filled with special foamed polyurethane now in order to fix the missiles position during transportation to the shipyard, the missiles are safe for transportation, Navrotsky said.
The second compartment contains a lot of explosives
While cleaning the debris in the second compartment the investigators found big quantities of the explosives, equal to 150 kg of trotyl. They are the parts of unexploded missiles, which were thrown from the first compartment by the explosion.
The explosives were taken away by the specialists and terminated.
It was decided to work in the second compartment only during day light to minimise the risk for the investigators, who work there. They believe, it will take 3-4 months to clean all the debris on the submarine.

Transport on the Northern Sea Route is not sustainable, and Kirkenes must not become a potential hub for transport along the Siberian coast. Bellona believes this is an important message Norway should deliver in connection with the Prime Minister's visit to China. In an open letter to Jonas Gahr Støre, Bellona asks the Prime Minister to make it clear that the Chinese must stop shipping traffic through the Northeast Passage.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has published a new report on its efforts to ensure nuclear safety and security during the conflict in Ukraine, with the agency’s director-general warning that the situation at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station remains “precarious and very fragile.”
