The incident took place in the strait between Turkey and the Greek island of Lesbos. We talked to an eyewitness who didn't dare film the attack itself, but he documented the immediate aftermath on his cellphone. We analysed and verified his footage. (Thread)
On the videos you see a damaged motor and a hole at the back left side. We verified the location, confirmed the time, checked with @alarm_phone who received the emergency call and the Turkey Coast Guard which published a photo of their rescue. 
A Greek Coast Guard vessel is visible in the video, with a small inflatable alongside. Farhad marks it for us on a screenshot. He tells us he is absolutely certain that the masked men were "Greek forces." which we cannot confirm in this particular video.
This investigation follows the great work done by @bash_deeb and @leone_hadavi and team @LHreports @bellingcat.
