Russia's nuclear agency has said five of its employees were
killed when a rocket engine exploded during a test at a far-northern military
base.
soon after Thursday's explosion, the Defence Ministry said
two people died and four were injured, including servicemen and civilian
engineers.
It was not immediately clear if the five fatalities cited in
a Saturday statement by Rosatom were in addition to the previously reported
deaths.
The explosion occurred at a military shooting range in
Nyonoksa in the north-western Arkhangelsk region.
Nyonoksa hosts a navy facility that serves as a base for
testing intercontinental ballistic missiles intended for nuclear submarines.
