Stoinian and Sallodesian military officials have denied the claims of the Izaakian Navy. Calling their claim a clear propaganda stunt and an awful attempt to draw attention away from Operation Harmony's success. Stoinian Defence Minister Gen. Codreanu stated: "The Task Force was equipped with top of the line Myrian and Sedunnic SONAR and submarine detection systems. We Stoinians and Sallodesians understand that action speaks more than mere words. Something the Izaakians haven't done aside from making a bold and deplorable statement."
