EMERGENCY - gaza freedom flotilla under attack:
at 00:23 Maltese time today, the Gaza Freedom Flotilla vessel was hit in a drone attack. The front of the vessel was targeted twice, resulting in a fire and a breach in the hull. The ship is currently located in international waters near Malta.
An SOS distress signal was sent out, to which only southern Cyprus has responded by dispatching a vessel. No other countries have responded. The drone attack appears to have specifically targeted the ship's generator, and the vessel is now at risk of sinking with 30 international human rights activists on board.
