Flotilla Says Drones Attacked Ships Near Greece
Activists with the Global Sumud Flotilla reported overnight drone attacks and communications jamming while en route south of Greece toward Gaza, saying at least 13 explosions were heard and 'unidentified objects' were dropped on about 10 boats. Italy condemned the strikes and sent the frigate Fasan toward the area for possible rescue operations; the U.N. Human Rights Office called for an independent investigation and activists — including Greta Thunberg and at least one American — said there were damages but no casualties.
