The Chinese Type 093 submarines had been on service for the last 15 years. The alleged nuclear submarine is said to be caught under the trap which was actually meant for US and UK, as it was claimed. It is believed that the submarine hit a “chain and anchor obstacle” that the country used to get “ensnare” the sub-surface vessels of United States, United Kingdom and their allies.

As per media, the UK report also read, “intelligence reports that on August 21 there was an on-board accident whilst carrying out a mission in the Yellow Sea”.

According to one naval expert, “If they were trapped on the net system and the submarine”s batteries were running flat, (which is plausible), then eventually the air purifiers and air treatment systems could have failed”, they told to Mail Online.
