Overview

• The Freedom Flotilla Coalition's ship, Conscience, was struck by drones early Friday while in international waters 17 kilometers off Malta.
• The drone strikes caused a fire and breached the hull, disabling the ship's generator and putting it at risk of sinking.
• Maltese authorities responded to an SOS call, dispatching a tugboat and patrol vessel to assist; the fire was brought under control by 1:28 AM local time.
• All 12 crew members and 4 civilian passengers on board were confirmed safe, though the vessel remains in a precarious condition.
• No party has claimed responsibility for the attack, and Israel has not commented on the incident despite accusations from the Freedom Flotilla Coalition.
