It would seem like silence would have been the best option, instead of providing details, that were likely to be overturned later, on how the place turned around and had mechanical failures.
Maybe I'm just giving these totalitarian governments too much credit. There's an image of them as James Bond villain masterminds, but they're probably more like Chernobyl style spokesman.

One could argue they simply borrowed a page from the Yanks on how to respond to mistakenly shooting down a civilian aircraft.
My guess though is that it's a case of deny until you know for sure, since it's a massive screw up and an international embarrassment. Hopefully they acknowledge what happened and work through it with the other governments affected. Hopefully.
