I generally go straight to UK news online everyday and read the Navy had admitted being in the area using sonar and test firing guns or ordanance of some description.
Sometimes the obvious answer has to be correct , sure seems more likely than suicidel dolphins.

We all like dolphins, Mate. What I was told by people in dolphin research is that 'single' strandings are often because of outcasts from the pod committing suicide. Dolphins are social animals and being excommunicado can lead to suicide. It would be odd for a whole pod to commit suicide in Jim Jones fashion but I suppose it's possible. We can't blame the military for absolutely everything and should our borders be threatened I think we'd all be damned thankful to have the military protecting hearth and home. Don't want to get off into a whole war/peace thing so I'll shut up now.

They said they weren't using sonar.........I must have missed there retraction

Without rising to any bait ( pun unintended ) i doubt the painfully honest and upright military would tell us the truth in any matter that puts them in a bad light and without doubt we'd be here all day cataloging the indiscrepencies so i'll leave it with a simple link to what i read.

"The navy admitted that one of its survey vessels had been using sonar to map the seabed approximately 14 miles (23 kilometers) from where the dolphins stranded themselves, The Associated Press reported."
