A major fire broke out on August 16 in China on the Soviet heavy aircraft carrier Minsk of Project 1143.2. The Minsk cruiser was sold to South Korea for scrap in 1995, and was bought by a Chinese company in 1998 and towed to Shenzhen. In 2000, the Minsk cruiser was placed in the Minsk World amusement park, and in 2017, it was towed to Nantong for a new amusement park. During the dismantling of the ship's structure, a fire broke out on it, which intensified on the night of August 17. Perhaps these are the last shots of the Minsk cruiser and its story will end here.
