Gaza activist ship 'attacked by drones' off coast of Malta, NGO says

BBC News

The NGO appeared to accuse Israel of being behind the incident and called for Israeli ambassadors to be summoned to answer for "violation of international law, including the ongoing blockade and the bombing of our civilian vessel". The Israeli military said it was looking into reports of the attack. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition uploaded a video showing a fire on one of its ships but did not indicate whether anyone had been hurt. It said the attack appeared to have targeted the generator, which left the ship without power and at risk of sinking. The ship was 17 nautical miles (31.5 kilometres) east of Malta when it was hit.
