Russian research vessel Yantar has arrived at the wreckage site of the MV Ursa Major.
The Russian cargo vessel suffered an explosion in its engine room on December 23rd and sank the next day on December 24th .
Fourteen of the 16 crew members were rescued by the Spanish Coast Guard , leaving two sailors missing when the ship sank.
The presence of Rear Admiral Konovalov on board the research vessel is raising questions on the Russian intentions with the wreckage.
Yantar could be conducting a thorough investigation of the wreckage in order to determine the cause of the explosions in the engine room.
It can also aid in the destruction of sensitive materials as MV Ursa Major is known to have smuggled weapons in the past and possible evidence might still be on board of the vessel.
Another theory is that it is trying to recover the 45-ton hatches intended for the icebreaker Rossiya .
