PUTRAJAYA - The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) humanitarian mission currently sailing in international waters is expected to enter the R3 red zone, about 100 nautical miles from Gaza, at 9 pm tonight (Malaysian time), says Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.

He said reports from the Sumud Nusantara Command Centre (SNCC) informed that the flotilla, which was now in the yellow zone, also faced a tense situation at 8.45 am today (Malaysian time) when approached by a vessel believed to belong to the Israeli Zionist regime.

"The boats in the GSF are expected to enter the red zone within a few hours from now, and the presence of the vessel believed to belong to the Israeli Zionist regime is concerning,” he said at the weekly press conference here today.

Meanwhile, Fahmi said about 10 drones were also detected hovering over the flotilla, but so far, no physical interception had taken place, and the flotilla delegation remained on alert with full preparedness.

He said that if their boats were intercepted and communication cut off, several measures had been prepared and would be activated according to procedure. - BERNAMA
