We have a lot to interpret from this piece.
Where is this unfamiliar sea region? 1000 nautical miles would put it near the edge of the 9 dash line in SCS, or way past Okinawa, or beyond Hokkaido. If it is near Japan, the JMSDF would probably have talked about it already, but since there’s no news, SCS is the more likely direction. However I wouldn’t consider anywhere in the SCS to be an unfamiliar sea region to the PLAN, so that leaves one possibility: it slipped past PH through the Bashi Channel towards Guam and held the exercise somewhere between Taiwan and Guam. Correct me if I’m wrong.
There were 2 typhoons that hit East Asia in the beginning of Sep. One went through PH to Hong Kong then Vietnam, the other one from midway between Guam and Okinawa to Shanghai. From the above, my guess is the semi-submersible went to sea at around 27 or 28 August during the 2nd typhoon.
Don't know if two Zubr fit ?

You are thinking of 1000 nm simple straight line away from Chinese coast. i.e. a radius of 1000 nm away from port of Zhanjiang, in Guangdong.
In reality that ship could have travelled along Chinese coast line of Gunadong and part of Fujian for severel hundred nm before going outward to open sea for another few hundred nm. i.e. a irregular line of route that lasted 1000 nm.
That is to say, it might have travel from Zhanjiang, passed Hong Kong coast, went to Southern coast of Fujian, then went to a destinatiion that may be anywhere, could be East China sea, Yellow Sea, SCS or West Pacific, sailed for a total journey of 1,000 nm.
I’m aware of that, but then I don’t think the end destination would be far enough to be in a place that counts as an unfamiliar sea region, so I ruled that out.
It’s over 100m x 30m, two Zubr’s would be about 120m, so it’s hard to say, it might fit if it was really squeezed in there.
However, you can definitely fit four Type 022’s. You could also carry two Type 056’s, or three Type 039 submarines!
Not sure where to put this in correctly!
Just translated: "The attack of a certain courier on the aircraft carrier was not just as simple as opening a hole in the deck, but also deforming the entire hull. Of course, it should not be to the point of being blown up and sunk, but it was basically destroyed."
