After the successful surface launch of the Tsirkon (Zircon) hypersonic cruise missile from a Russian nuclear-powered submarine on Sunday, a second launch was conducted on Monday; this time from 40 meters underwater signalling a new capability for the country's navy.
“The second test firing of the hypersonic cruise missile Tsirkon was carried out by the crew of the nuclear submarine missile cruiser Severodvinsk for the first time from an underwater position, from a depth of 40 meters, in the waters of the White Sea at a conditional sea target in the Barents Sea”, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

The Pravda reprinted the article from sensation lovers at avia-pro.net, which sourced the info from "Western media reports".Russian nuclear-powered submarines leave Pacific port one by one

The most reasonable explanation is that Russia got impatient with "Ukrainian mud freezing" process, again according to "Western media reports" and decided to dry it up with nukes instead.

In this case, I'm glad that it appears to be largely sensationalism. Given the stupidity of our administration, it's hard to tell when they're going to light stuff up with the Russians because reasons.
Currently, I live very close to the intersection of a major north-south interstate, a major east-west interstate, a VERY major rail line, and one of, if not the largest fuel tank farms on the East Coast so in the event of a major war, I don't have to worry about funeral expenses as I have an instant cremation policy although it will take a few thousand years before it will be safe to visit my grave.

Russia’s Ad Strategy for the “Checkmate” Fighter Involves Perfume and the Apache Helicopter
But despite the pungent swag, the latest stylized “trailer” promoting Checkmate arguably skimps on an embarrassing detail.

Hopefully, I saw a link to a "OMG Ru55ianS calling up reserves!" article but it was wankfest material. I see the Guardian is amping up the fear as well:
"The stark warning by the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, on Wednesday that Russia has made plans for a “large-scale” attack is backed up by open source analysis – and western intelligence assessments. “There is enough substance to this,” one insider added."
Russia’s activity on the Ukraine border has put the west on edge
Analysis: a full-scale attack seems improbable – but the troop buildup is enough to have Nato warn of sanctions

In St. Petersburg, at PJSC SZ Severnaya Verf, a project 20385 Provorny corvette under construction caught fire.
There was no crew on the ship as she is under construction so human casualty was only the assistant chief of the fire brigade who received some burns.
