French-Moroccan Tourists Killed After Accidentally Crossing Border on Jet Skis

Two French-Moroccan tourists were shot dead by Algerian coast guards after crossing the maritime border on jet skis due to getting lost and running out of fuel.
The border crossing incident occurred near a Moroccan coastal resort, resulting in the death of two individuals and the arrest of one other.
Authorities confirmed one French citizen was killed, prompting an investigation by French prosecutors and contact with Algerian and Moroccan officials.
Relations between Algeria and Morocco have been tense for decades due to disputes over Western Sahara, with their land border closed since 1994.
Accounts from survivors contradict Algerian authorities' claims that the tourists were trying to smuggle something or escape customs.
