A Russian naval officer on Monday was killed by a fire aboard a patrol boat docked in the Baltic port of Baltiysk, in Kaliningrad region, a naval spokesman said, quoted by Russian news agencies.

"The body of the dead officer was found during an examination of the area on the Neukrotimy (Untameable) patrol ship where a fire had taken place," said the spokesman, Igor Dygalo, quoted by RIA Novosti.

The vessel was about to be decommissioned from service, Interfax quoted him as saying.

The accident follows the inadvertent fatal gassing of 20 people aboard a Russian submarine in the Sea of Japan last month.

In a demonstration of growing assertiveness, Russian ships have in recent weeks held exercises in the Caribbean Sea with Venezuela's navy and one Russian warship passed through the Panama Canal for the first time since 1944.
