#2 I've been reading this for two days now, so MSN is late to the game. Note that when the story first appeared two days ago, Chairman Xi missed making his scheduled address at the BRICS conference in South Africa.

#4 As mentioned earlier, any thought that the sub was on some form of recon/sabotage/clandestine insertion operation and was lost to defensive systems, perhaps mines?

#5 There has not yet been "any convincing evidence" to support the reports, naval expert and analyst, H I Sutton, said in a post to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Tuesday.

...Sutton's stuff is world class OSINT. If he's not hearing anything yet then either they're keeping a hell of a lid on it or it didn't happen. Keep an eye on his feeds.

#6 was lost to defensive systems
