An accident likely: the explosion happened at night time and a hand with a working glove and a captain's insignia on the sleeve was found. Probably a captain of one of the mine sweepers was working overtime. If so, leading to the death of himself and his mates.
Interestingly, the wiki mentions four minesweepers as having been sunk by the explosion.

I am only aware of R-boats 60, 61 and 62.
