Developing:

Russian submarine accident in Russian territorial waters. Multiple casualties reported. The type of sub is in question, and Putin is getting directly involved, particularly because of how poorly the Russians dealt with the Kursk disaster.

Contradictory reports as to what type of Russian sub had accident; some say AS-12 “Losharik” (in red box), others its BS-64 carrier submarine, both depicted in this photo published by @novaya_gazeta: pic.twitter.com/kIkGX9s4Qh
