The Konarak support ship should have set targets that other ships should fire. Subsequently, the ship must have been too close when another ship shot one of the targets, according to the state news agency IRNA.

The 47-meter ship generally has a crew of approximately 20 people. The ship is built in the Netherlands and has been in operation since 1988, but had a overhaul in 2018.
