Two Greek Coast Guard boats on Saturday opened fire on a ro-ro ship 11 miles off Türkiye's southwestern coast of Bozcaada, according to Turkish officials. Comoros-flagged "Anatolian" ship with 18 crew -- six Egyptian, four Somalian, five Azerbaijani, and three Turkish nationals -- was attacked while sailing in international waters, Turkish Coast Guard Command said in a statement. After learning about the incident, the Turkish coastguard dispatched two boats and then the Greek boats left the area.
