The Turkish foreign ministry said Syria had assured it that the incident was "just an accident'' during routine military training.

IMHO, this is a true statement. It sounds like one of the syrians "piece of junk" missiles failed to hit the friggin Mediterranean Sea. No word on where the other two missiles came down at so I assume they managed to actually fall into the Med.

Except those missiles had to pass over/through Turkish airspace - still a violation of sovereignty and and act of war.

They fired two inland and the third went ballistic and astray into the Med. Even the Syrians don't want this type of incident. The same as the Israeli's when they test fire their ballistics into the Med. They would have announced maritime closure areas to prevent a potential disaster.
