Re: War in Ukraine...

For me its 100% a waterborne explosion, watching the Osintechnical vid from the CCTV footage you just catch a wash , probably from a boat/barge, prior to the explosion.

Then when you watch the on bridge footage the explosion appears to come from underneath.

Either way, its a fkin insane strike
