Tunisia's interior ministry on Wednesday said a "premeditated attack" hit one of the boats in the Global Sumud Flotilla, adding that it was launching an investigation into the incident, AFP has reported.

Organizers of the flotilla carrying aid and pro-Palestine activists said late Tuesday that another of their boats had been struck in a suspected drone attack off Tunisia's coast, the second in 24 hours.

“Second night, second drone attack,” Melanie Schweizer, one of the flotilla coordinators, told AFP on Tuesday.
