A devastating fire on a landing ship started by a US sailor was charged

The accused was a member of the ship’s crew at the time of the incident, said Sean Robertson, a spokesman for the US Navy’s third fleet. He was accused of arson and intentionally endangering the ship, he added.

The US authorities did not disclose the name of the accused or any other details of the case, including the possible motive for the crime.

A fire on the ship broke out on July 12, 2020, when 160 people were on board. More than 60 Navy and civilian members were treated after suffering minor injuries, heat exhaustion or smoke. Thick black smoke then rolled to a height of 250 meters. Helicopters and ships with water cannons also took part in the firefighting.
