As the newly formed Sublime Porte meets in Constantinople, the Italian Navy attacks forts on both the European and Asiatic side of the Dardanelles, in an apparent attempt to attack the Ottoman fleet sheltered in the straits. Some of these same forts that would be attacked during the Gallipoli campaign, would receive significant damage, with about 15 Turks killed. The result of the attacks was the forced closure of the Dardanelles to international traffic, by the Turks.
