High winds from Typhoon Maysak caused a floating dry dock to break free of its moorings at Russia's Vostochny Verf shipyard in the country's far eastern port city of Vladivostok. Once free, it drifted into a number of ships and submarines belonging to the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet, causing untold damage.

Maysak, which has been moving north for days now, passing over both Japan and the Korean Peninsula, where it had built up enough strength to produce gusts of wind in excess of 100 miles per hour, with the possibility that it could still become more powerful. It's not clear exactly how strong the storm's winds were when it reached Vladivostok.
Video footage and pictures of the incident so far show that the floating dry dock did not have any ship or submarine inside it at the time. It still presents a major hazard and has reportedly already smacked into various ships and submarines.
