Default rocket engine blast in northern Russia
A rocket engine explosion on a naval test range in northern Russia has killed two people and injured six, the defence ministry told Russian media.

The victims of the explosion in Arkhangelsk region were civilian specialists while military and civilian personnel are among the injured.

The ministry said radiation levels were normal but the city of Severodvinsk registered a "brief spike" in levels.

An area of the White Sea nearby has reportedly been closed for a month.

But the deputy head of Archangelsk port, Sergei Kozub, told the BBC the closure was planned before the accident.

Radiation levels peaked between 11:50 and 12:30 (08:50-09:30 GMT) before falling and normalising by 14:00, the city administration in Severodvinsk said on its website, without reporting how significant the spike had been.

It is unclear what could have caused radiation levels to rise.

Local people were reportedly urged to take precautions against radiation. No increase in ambulance call-outs was recorded, the administration added.

A woman in Severodvinsk named only Alina told Russian news site lenta.ru: "I work in the hospital where they're bringing the injured.

"They advise everyone to close their windows and drink iodine, 44 drops per glass of water."

Somebody got the explosion on video and it was no ordinary bomb

The stuff you watch when you are off tibb for a month is surprisingly believable.

I did hear on the news that an ammo factory or such had blown up.
Possibly this incident with a spin on it.

yes, it hit the news as an explosion that killed 2 people .... Bit of an understatement when it is clearly a nuke that is supposedly banned.

That's not a nuclear explosion.
There probably was some radioactive material dispersed but that's not the same.
I'm sure that the relevant services in the west are watching and would sound alarm if it concerned us.
