On 13 August 2020, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced that any attack on the Turkish research vessel will incur a "high price" and suggested that Turkey had already acted on that warning. This came after unconfirmed reports that "Limnos" collided with the frigate , one of the ships of the Turkish Navy that were escorting "Oruç Reis", which resumed drilling operations southeast of the Greek island of Kastellorizo on 10 August, after suspending its work in July.
