"Yue Gang, a former colonel in the People's Liberation Army, warned against drawing hasty conclusions and said the ship had not been well-maintained over its 40 or so years in service.

"If a [Neptune] missile penetrates the deck, there will be deaths after the first explosion, but there's no report of the death of Russian crews, and I believe Russia is unlikely to cover it up," Yue said.

In 2018 it was taken into dock for scheduled repairs and returned to service in September 2020.

"It shows that the management is not in place, or it is possible that there were some improper operations causing the fire … ageing electrics are also possible, showing the repair of the ship is far from satisfactory," he said."
