Probably a split if you look at it under a scope.

You could probably just slap some hydraulic cement on that bad boy and be back in action in no time. 🤣

You could use some braising rod and cover up the hole

I would use a pex coupling and two pex crimp rings.

Then list it as a temporary emergency repair and advise a pipe replacement.
