Organisers of a pro-Palestinian flotilla carrying aid to Gaza claim several of their boats were targeted by drones while off the coast of Greece.

According to the Global Sumud Flotilla, more than a dozen explosions were heard, and some vessels sustained damage from “unidentified objects” dropped onto their decks.

A Polish lawmaker on one of the vessels reported 13 attacks on 10 ships, while a German activist on board said five vessels were targeted.

One video posted on the flotilla’s social media showed an explosion and a claim that 15 to 16 drones had been sighted.

A Greek coastguard official told reporters that a European Union patrol boat found no evidence of damage.

The official added that those on board mentioned the incident, but they could not confirm if it had happened.

The flotilla, which set sail from Barcelona, aims to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza and is currently off the island of Crete.

Israel has previously stated it will not allow the flotilla to reach the territory.
