Could this be from the test of the nuclear powered hypersonic missile that Russia is developing [0]? Those things aren't designed to 'land' no pun intended

My first guess is their nuclear powered torpedo, 'Poseidon', aka STATUS-6, or Kanyon:

I'd sooner expect it in the Arctic Ocean, but who knows.
