Gaza Freedom Flotilla says it came under drone attack off Malta coast

A humanitarian flotilla organised by a coalition of activists to deliver aid to Gaza said one of its vessels was subjected to a drone attack off the coast of Malta early on Friday. The Gaza Freedom Flotilla, formed by 12 human rights groups, said on social media it issued a distress call following the alleged attack shortly after midnight local time. “The front of the vessel was targeted twice, resulting in a fire and a breach in the hull,” it said in the post accompanied by a video showing flames and smoke rising from the ship sailing in international waters near Malta.
