Can anyone identify this submunition? It’s supposedly from a Russian X-59MK2 missile with a cluster warhead intercepted in Zaporizhzhia region of Ukraine. Looks similar to an OKT??

It does, but the additional photos show them bulk packed in a (shot down) missile warhead. The obvious problem for the design is no dispersal pattern. The South Africans solved that through dispenser design, the warhead shown has no such design. I'm thinking maybe incendiary, possibly a thermobaric variation?
 
Speaking of the photos from the original source document. I'll see if I can pull them up in a little while when I get some time.
