The major fire at the BAE Systems nuclear submarine shipyard in England caused extensive damage to the infrastructure, an infrastructure of great strategic importance because it is the only one where the new nuclear-powered submarines of the British Royal Navy can be built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although we do not know the exact cause of the fire, many sources suggest that we are dealing with sabotage, behind which Russian saboteurs are hiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uproar in England Caused by the Fire<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n More specifically and according to foreign media, the big fire at the Devonshire Dock Hall (DDH) shipyard of the defense company BAE Systems started a few hours ago and has already become the first topic in the entire West. The shipyard is located in the port town of Barrow-in-Furness in North East England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Footage posted on social media shows huge clouds of smoke accompanied by flames in various parts of the building. Let us emphasize at this point that the DDH shipyard is one of the largest in the whole of Europe and one of the few worldwide that can build nuclear submarines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thick black smoke is said to have covered the entire surrounding area, according to eyewitnesses who live in the port city in northeast England. Some reported hearing loud explosions at the time the fire started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As for the shipyard workers themselves, information claims that on the night the incident occurred, approximately 200 people were working in the infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A spokesman for BAE Systems assured that the entire area around the shipyard has been evacuated and that everyone is safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although citizens in the area were ordered to stay in their homes, local police said there was no risk of a radioactive leak. The British authorities explained that they asked the locals to close their windows to prevent metal particles etc. from entering their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A major investigation has been launched a few hours ago by the British in collaboration with BAE Systems to find the cause of this fire. As we mentioned above, many sources suggest that saboteurs are behind this devastating fire, perhaps of Russian origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the ongoing investigation, parts of the yard that were not affected by the incident continued to operate as normal, the company said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The major fire at the BAE Systems nuclear submarine shipyard in England caused extensive damage to the infrastructure, an infrastructure of great strategic importance…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[825,3],"tags":[484,6162,3944,5145,3728,6163],"class_list":["post-21248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-europe-geopolitical","category-geopolitical","tag-england","tag-fira","tag-great-britain","tag-nuclear-program","tag-sabotage","tag-submarine-shipyard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21248"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21248\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21250,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21248\/revisions\/21250"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
