🔴 BREAKING: The so-called Libyan coast guard threatens our airplane crew with force of arms in the Maltese search and rescue zone: "Get away from Libyan territory, otherwise we will shoot you by some missiles." In the footage, a member of the Libyan Coast Guard crew is heard saying “Get out of Libyan territory”, with a member of Sea-Watch rebutting that they are in a European search and rescue area. “Get away from Libyan territory otherwise we will shoot you [with] some missiles,” the Coast Guard is heard saying in retaliation. Sea-Watch claims that the Libyan Coast Guard was actually in Malta’s search and rescue zone, and not in Libyan territorial waters. Shortly after, the patrol boat belonging to the Libyan Coast Guard began to threaten the Seabird aircrew.
