To me, the first ten seconds of the video show the
ship firing its main gun, not a missile strike.
You can see the smoke coming from the muzzle. Also
a warhead detonation would create more flash.

I think this video is labeled in error.

The video is kind of strange, though. I'd expect a missile impact to cause a much larger cloud of smoke. There are definitely two bursts of smoke and two reports, however, closer together than I'd expect that gun to be able to fire. And first reports said that the damage was light, the more serious damage to the steering only being discovered later. So I still don't know what to think.
