Arctic Circle oil spill prompts Putin to declare state of emergency
In a statement, Norilsk Nickel said the incident had been reported in a "timely and proper" way.
The state of emergency means extra forces are going to the area to assist with the clean-up operation.
The accident is believed to be the second largest in modern Russian history in terms of volume, an expert from the World Wildlife Fund, Alexei Knizhnikov, told the AFP news agency.
