According to the Turkish news outlet KuzeyEkspres, the drone was spotted by fishermen who tied it to their boat and towed it to shore. They called the Coast Guard, who, suspecting the USV was carrying explosives, evacuated the area and called in the military bomb squad to make it safe. The report said: “Our fishermen found a fiber boat at sea last night and brought it to the port. The boat is sitting in our port… The bomb squad is coming.”AdvertisementÇarşıbaşı is located about 700 kilometers (440 miles) south of Novorossiya, 650 kilometers (400 miles) southeast of the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula, and 1,400 kilometers (900 miles) from the nearest Ukrainian-held territory.
