Satellite images suggest tsunami damage at Russian nuclear submarine base
- Satellite images appear to show damage to a Russian nuclear submarine base following the Kamchatka tsunami.
- The Rybachiy base, which houses most of Moscow's Pacific Fleet nuclear submarines, was affected by the 8.8 magnitude earthquake and subsequent wave on 30 July.
- Images from an Umbra Space satellite reveal a section of a pier at the base is bent and likely detached from its moorings.
- No submarines were believed to be docked at the base, and experts suggest the limited damage is unlikely to impact military operations.
