On 27 July 2010, "The Hankyoreh" published what it claimed was a detailed summary of the Russian Navy expert team's analysis. According to "The Hankyoreh", the Russian investigators concluded that "Cheonan" touched the sea floor and damaged one of its propellers prior to a non-contact explosion, possibly caused by setting off a mine while the ship was trying to maneuver into deeper water. Visual examination of the torpedo parts South Korea found purportedly indicated that it had been in the water for more than 6 months. On the following day South Korean officials responded with "a full-scale refutation".
