A fishing boat's net off the coast of Karaburun district in İzmir got caught on a submarine torpedo. The approximately 2-ton, 5-meter-long torpedo was safely destroyed under the control of the Coast Guard Command teams.



The trawler named "Kaptan Mustafa 2," which was fishing in international waters off the coast of Karaburun, unknowingly encountered a submarine torpedo.



A 2-TON TORPEDO GOT CAUGHT IN THE NET



A submarine torpedo weighing approximately 2 tons and measuring 5 meters in length got caught in the boat's net. Not knowing what the heavy metal mass caught in the net was, the crew approached the port without pulling the net up. With the help of a crane, it was revealed that the heavy iron mass was a torpedo.



TEAMS DESTROYED IT



Upon reporting the incident to the security teams, police and Coast Guard Command teams arrived at the scene and secured the area. No one was allowed near the boat and its surroundings until the bomb disposal expert team arrived. This morning, the expert teams that came to the port towed the boat to a safe area. The torpedo, which was stated to be a submarine training torpedo, was destroyed in a controlled manner due to the possibility of explosives inside.



HE SHARED HIS EXPERIENCE



The captain of the boat, Emirhan Yaman, who recounted the interesting incident they experienced, said, "We were fishing between Karaburun and Lesbos. Something got caught in the net. It was heavy, and we couldn't understand what it was, so we brought it to the port without pulling the net. We had a friend with a crane, we called him, and he came to help. We lifted it up with the net. It turned out to be a submarine torpedo. They said, 'Let's not touch it, it might explode.' We informed the necessary authorities. We reported it to the police and gendarmerie. Later, the bomb disposal expert was informed, and they came this morning. We moved a bit away from the port, and they took the torpedo and destroyed it in a controlled manner," he said.



Meanwhile, no official statement has been made yet regarding the year of the torpedo and its origin.
