How shitty was that mine if it only did minor damage to a civilian vessel?

Update:

The Turkish Maritime Administration has released details of the emergency situation in the Black Sea. According to the agency, on October 5, "an explosion occurred" 15-20 meters behind the Turkish-flagged bulk carrier Kafkametler, which was passing by the coast of Romania.

I think the wake must've triggered the mine.
