The Turkish Coast Guard didn't specify who may have been responsible for the attack.

"Russian forces and occupation authorities made effective use of the response window — the period during which an emergency has not yet reached the peak of its destructive impact — significantly more difficult," said Roman Koval, head of research at Truth Hounds.
