[Regnum] A fire broke out on the French nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle during maintenance. The newspaper Figaro reported this on October 5, citing data from the Mediterranean Maritime Prefecture.

The incident occurred while the aircraft carrier was in the port of Toulon. It had returned there in July after a visit to the Middle East.

A fire broke out this morning in one of the aircraft carrier's technical rooms next to the aircraft hangar. It is suspected to have been caused by work using a gas burner.

The fire was contained within an hour. No one was injured. No damage to the ship's reactor equipment was reported.

Charles de Gaulle is the only aircraft carrier of the French Armed Forces.
