Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The former Soviet aircraft carrier Minsk caught fire in China's Susitun Park. This was reported by the Chinese publication Penpai.

There are no reports of casualties.

Earlier, on August 16, the Susitun Park Fire and Rescue Brigade reported a fire during the dismantling of an aircraft carrier, but did not specify which aircraft carrier caught fire.

The Soviet aircraft carrier Minsk was sold to a Chinese company in the 1990s and used at a theme park in Shenzhen, southern China. In 2016, the carrier was moved to Susitun Park.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on February 24, in the city of Nanjing in the province of Jiangsu in eastern China, at least 15 people died and 44 were injured as a result of a fire in a multi-story residential building. 25 units of equipment and 130 people were involved in extinguishing the fire and in the search and rescue operation.
