The alarm went off at 4 in the morning in the Aegean, when a Turkish merchant ship collided with an Hellenic Navy gunboat, in Greek territorial waters off Mytilene!

According to a report by Turkish site Hurriyetdailynews.com, Turkish coast guard boats prevented Greek ships from approaching the islets of Imia (Kardak, as they are called in the piece).

Around 6:15 am Thursday morning Hellenic Navy frigate “Kanaris” (F-464) ran aground at the islet of Atalanti, near Psytalia as it was coming back to the Salamina Naval Base after a planned mission.
