Do enemy ships hit their own mines?

I was parked between Scotland and the Isle of Lewis (just east of Stornoway) hunting when I got a sound contact for a merchant. I set up my intercept, killed the engines and waited. The merchant was 10K away approximatley and I lost his sound contact. Up scope, and there sits the the merchie south of me flaming away and then sinking. This has happened more than once, and I do know there are mines in the area (found out the hard way).

So my question is, are these ships hitting their own mines or is their another U-boat prowling about?
