According to the report, unverified video footage of the ship heavily listing to its starboard side with its bow much lower down in the water than usual was filmed on December 23 by a passing ship and published on Russia's life.ru news outlet on Tuesday.

The report said that the Foreign Ministry's crisis center said in a statement that 14 of the ship's 16 crew members had been rescued and brought to Spain, but that two crew were still missing. It did not say what had caused the engine room explosion.

The report added that Russia's embassy in Spain was cited by the state RIA news agency as saying it was looking into the circumstances of the sinking and was in touch with the authorities in Spain.

I think Ukraine was right about the ship likely heading to Tartus to remove the Russian weapons there. Not to mention all of the servicemen and ammunition. Why two cranes and one would be going to Libya to offload all the stuff? I think more of Russia's shadow fleet should also develop engine trouble.

Watch the report via the YT link.
