MOSCOW, Nov 8 (Reuters) - At least 20 people died and 21 were injured in an accident on board a Russian nuclear-powered submarine, Russian news agencies said on Saturday.

A naval spokesman confirmed the reports, which did not give the name of the submarine specify or where it was located, adding only that it was on exercises at sea and 208 people were on board.

An anti-submarine ship, the Admiral Tributs, was providing assistance and taking some of the injured crew from the submarine to port, news agencies reported. (Reporting by Guy Faulconbridge, writing by Michael Stott)
