Wouldn't be a surprise to avoid capture of tech, but maybe it was just an accident due to damage. A small explosion underwater (lithium batteries and fuel?) can be deadly enough. Maybe they're designed to self destruct but this one failed until it got handled (wouldn't you want it to destruct as soon as certain variables were exceeded?)

ukrainian drones already washed out on shore once when musk shut off starlink during one of first crimea raids, i'm sure they account for loss of signal now
