Would this be considered piracy? Not the "would you download a car" type, but the old school type. That was not a military ship and was not carrying military equipment.
Or would this instead be considered an act of terrorism?
Were those truly international waters? Being just 17km from Malta suggests they were within Malta's territorial waters. This matter should be addressed promptly. However, without a European army, tyrants can act with impunity. 🤷🏻♂️
Just another good ol' war crime or maybe another complete disregard of international law, or an act of aggression towards a sovereign nation depending on where the bombing happened. No biggie right ?
