The German humanitarian rescue ship Sea-Watch 5 was fired upon with live ammunition by Libya's coast guard while operating in the Mediterranean, the aid organization announced.
The vessel was carrying 90 people rescued from the sea and 30 crew members at the time of the incident. No casualties were reported. The attack adds to tensions over migration routes in the central Mediterranean, where rescue operations regularly clash with Libyan authorities.
