According to a video uploaded on Twitter, the Turkish vessel is seen approaching the Greek at speed. A Greek officer shouts to the rest of the crew that they have been hit at the stern.

He is heard shouting: “They broke our rails. We are in our [waters] and they hit us. They damaged our stern.” The video was uploaded by journalist Liana Spyropoulou.
