• Organizers say a main Global Sumud Flotilla vessel under a Portuguese flag caught fire near Sidi Bou Said, with all six people on board safe and reporting damage to the main deck and a storage area.
• The group posted night-vision and surveillance-style clips showing a fireball hitting the boat, though news outlets say the footage has not been independently verified.
• Tunisia’s National Guard reports finding no drone in the area and attributes the blaze to burning life jackets, with state media citing a possible cigarette as the ignition source.
• Flotilla leaders plan a press conference to present more details, and Tunisian authorities have issued preliminary findings on the incident.
• The convoy, which departed Barcelona to challenge Israel’s naval blockade and deliver aid to Gaza, includes activist Greta Thunberg and says it intends to continue the mission.
