The claim that the ship was struck by a Neptune missile is plausible, a Ukrainian defense official told us.

, Ukraine has adapted the indigenous Neptune anti-ship missile for longer range and land-******* capability.

The missile likely traveled about 150 to 180 miles to hit Kavkaz, said the official, adding that the converted Neptunes have a maximum range of 190 miles with a 350-pound warhead.

The Neptune had previously gained notoriety after two were used to hit the Russian Navy’s

Traditional anti-ship missiles with radar seeker’s are not well suited for striking ships in complex port areas.

Still, we cannot confirm what struck this vessel — a Neptune or any other type of ******* — if anything struck it at all. There is also the possibility that an accident onboard resulted in the destruction seen in the clips above.

If indeed Ukraine attacked the Kavkaz, it would be just the latest Ukrainian strike on Russia’s energy supply and infrastructure.

A massive ***** at a Russian oil depot in Proletarsk, Rostov region is still burning five days after being hit by Ukrainian drones. It is located about 250 miles from the front lines.

The governor of Rostov on Thursday said at least 13 firefighters have been hospitalized after fighting the blaze and that several measures are underway to try to douse it.

“To prevent the occurrence of a landscape ***** nearby, additional mineralized strips have been created around the industrial site,

“I regularly receive reports on the progress of extinguishing,” he added. “According to experts from operational rescue units, there is no threat of the ***** spreading to residential buildings and other objects.”

Five days after it was struck by Ukrainian drones, the Kavkaz oil depot in Russia’s Rostov Oblast continues to *****, with additional tanks at the depot exploding as the ***** continues to spread.

The facility has almost certainly been completely destroyed by the blaze.
