A spokesman for the GSF blamed Israel for the incident, which occurred late on Monday, but the Tunisian National Guard said reports of a drone attack were completely unfounded."

There were six people on the boat at the time of the drone attack, and some of the passengers quickly extinguished the fire. All crew members are safe, it said in a statement. The fire caused damage to the ship's main deck and below-deck storage, it said."
