The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) for Gaza said that one of its main boats was struck by a drone at a port in Tunisia, though all six passengers and crew were safe.
Tunisia's interior ministry said that reports of a drone hitting a boat at its Sidi Bou Said port "have no basis in truth," and that a fire broke out on the vessel itself.
The Portuguese-flagged boat, carrying the flotilla's steering committee, sustained fire damage to its main deck and below-deck storage, the GSF said in a statement.
A video posted by the GSF on X showed the moment "the Family Boat was struck from above," capturing a luminous flying object hitting the vessel with smoke rising soon after.
The flotilla is an international initiative seeking to break Israel's naval blockade and deliver humanitarian aid to war-torn Gaza using civilian boats supported by delegations from 44 countries, including Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and Portuguese left-wing politician Mariana Mortagua.
