Only a day after the serious incident over the Isle of Ro when Greek soldiers fired warning shots in the air at a Turkish helicopter, Turkish pro-government newspaper “Yeni Safak” used a provocative main headline reading “If a Greek ship was hit and sunk”.

A fighter aircraft of the Libyan Air Force allegedly opened fire on the “Iron Baron V” freighter, belonging to Greek interests with a Panama flag, which was located in the outer anchorage of the port of Derna.

According to early reports, there were no injuries, only property damages and there are no Greeks among the crew members.
