A Buk laucher with a single missile.
A lot of hits on Ukranian Buks as of late seem to show them without their full loadout.
Either they have trouble getting them to the front or running out

@Rybar's comment оn the morning attack on Sevastopol Bay, automatic translation:
After reading a briefing from the Russian Ministry of Defence on the morning attack on Sevastopol Bay, a logical question arises as to why this was the case.
The Russian Defence Ministry points out that the operation was carried out by the 73rd Special Maritime Operations Centre stationed in Ochakov. British specialists are also stationed there.
This knowledge did not come out of nowhere, did it? So there is intelligence information, there is a definite source. There's an approximate area of operation. There's an understanding of the likely nature of the activity.
In September, let us say, the intelligence agencies and specialized specialists were thoroughly aware of the plans of the Ukrainian armed forces to cut the communications between Kherson and the left bank of the Dnieper. About the preparation of the landing troops, which were being formed just in Ochakov. They were working on the enemy, inflicting a systematic fire attack.
So it is not about the sources of information or ignorance.
We have a wonderful stretch of terrain 8 km south of Ochakov, from where the entire city can be flattened. The Kynburne Spit is under the control of Russian troops. The spit was only finally cleared in the summer.
At some stage, Russian groups with Irony reconnaissance complexes were stationed on the Kinburn Spit to monitor enemy movements on the opposite bank of the estuary. From the territory of the spit, roving "Grads" were working on enemy positions.
But it turns out that today it is in Ochakov where foreign specialists, whose activities are known, are operating. In a small town that is in direct line of sight only 8 kilometres from our positions.
And it turns out that for some reason that side is able to conduct operations in our deep rear. And we know who and what we are doing there, but for some reason we cannot stop this activity.

I'm curious what causes this huge explosion, certainly not a drone because of the size of it.
Where did you take all these informations beside ''Ukraine is not giving up'' ? Maybe you need to revise your sources ?

I think it's more wishful thinking.
Wishful thinking is the formation of beliefs based on what might be pleasing to imagine, rather than on evidence, rationality, or reality. It is a product of resolving conflicts between belief and desire.
Drone hitting something flammable I guess. Fuel farm? Ammo dump? SAM launcher? Speaking of all the rumours that it is a frigate, while I can't say I have any experience with it, modern warships shouldn't really explode like WWI battlecruisers. But this war has surprised me in more than one way.
Static targets are quite easy to hit... These targets are like a magnet for attacks and one will go through whatever they do to stop them. Having ships laying there is just some lazy stupidity. Don't know if something was hit hard but it will happen if they continue to sit on their bum waiting.

Lapin was removed from his post. RIA war correspondent Alexander Kharchenko confirmed with his sources.
Allegedly footage from the drones on the attack, the counter-measures seems questionable? Admiral Makarov may have been struck.
If the RuAF have been underperforming this war, the Russia black sea fleet is busy outcompeting them on that front...
In the part 2 video we do see some countering fire from light weapons, but not at the volume that you would expect to repel such suicide speed boat esq attacks.

A breakdown of the previously found drone, looks like not much more than a transmitter, jetski motor and camera.
