In the early hours of Tuesday, a drone struck the lead ship of the Global Sumud Flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip at Sidi Bou Said port off the coast of Tunisia, organisers said.

CCTV footage from a neighbouring boat shows a missile striking the front deck of the Family Boat, registered in Portugal and flying a Portuguese flag.

The six passengers and crew on board were unharmed, and the ship remains structurally intact despite fire damage. Tunisian authorities have denied detecting any drones near the flotilla.

Miguel Duarte, who was on board the Family Boat and witnessed the attack, told Middle East Eye that he saw a drone hovering over the vessel before it dropped an explosive device.
