The Unmanned Surface Vessel has since been secured by the Turkish Navy. Reports indicate the Unmanned Surface Vessel may have been equipped with explosives. A yellow and green emblem was seen on the vessel which could indicate Ukrainian origins.

Images show that there was a camera fitted above the handlebars with other sensors connected, and an antenna mounted in the seating area. | |||||
