I think that the Russian ship may have hit one of their own mines that let loose.

Even if it didn't sink, a fire of that severity will probably take it out of commission perhaps permanently.

Being towed. I think so. It's getting help. Supposed to be headed for Sevastapool
I guess there needs to be another missile or two thrown at it if it's still afloat.

They have changed their assessment to unknown whether it is moving under its own power.
