According to Greek media outlets, a serious incident involving the Turkish Navy occurred Sunday morning during the joint Medusa 2020 military drills between Egypt, Greece, Cyprus, the United Arab Emirates and France.
In press statements, sources in the National Guard of Cyprus said that the incident was between an Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate of the Egyptian Navy and the Turkish Navy's Kemal Reis ship that was also humiliated earlier this year by the Greek Navy.

The Turkish frigate attempted to enter the drills area in Egypt’s maritime space. The Kemel Reis was duly warned to leave the area but it refused to obey instructions.
What was probably unexpected for the Turks, the Egyptian frigate rushed directly towards the Turkish one in an attempted collision. However, the Turkish captain literally fled immediately and did not try and approach the exercise site again.
The interception did not cause any damage in Limnos, while the Kemal Reis suffered a hole in the stern.
