Overview

• Flotilla organizers from Global Sumud say multiple drones caused explosions and blocked communications across several vessels near the Greek coast.
• A video posted by the group purportedly from the boat Spectre shows an explosion recorded at 1:43 local time, with activists reporting more than ten blasts.
• Participants, including Yasemin Acar, said five boats were affected, while the flotilla reported no casualties or damage.
• Greece’s coast guard told AFP that a Frontex patrol approached one vessel and observed no signs of damage, and independent verification of the reported strikes remains pending.
• The 51‑boat convoy departed Barcelona with high‑profile activists such as Greta Thunberg, Adèle Haenel and Brazilian Thiago Ávila, and Israel has reiterated it will not allow the boats to reach Gaza after earlier attempts were turned back in June and July, with a prior alleged drone incident reported near Tunisia on September 9.
