An unusual incident occurred on the maritime border between Morocco and Algeria on Sunday evening when an Algerian pedal boat (pedalo) reached Moroccan shores for reasons yet unknown.
According to the information received, the pedal boat was carrying two people when it crossed the maritime border. Immediately after the incident, Moroccan civil defense elements quickly intervened to remove the pedal boat to the beach and ensure the safety of the passengers.
Local authorities and several security agencies also attended the scene to inspect the situation and take necessary measures. Investigations are currently underway to uncover the reasons behind the Algerian pedal boat’s entry into Moroccan waters.
This incident occurs in the context of tense relations between the two countries, giving it special significance. The concerned parties remain in a state of continuous monitoring of the incident and its developments.
It is expected that Moroccan authorities will issue an official statement about the incident later, clarifying the circumstances of the event and the measures taken regarding it.
It’s worth noting that such unusual incidents on the maritime border between the two countries could lead to diplomatic repercussions, especially given the strained relations between Morocco and Algeria.
It is noteworthy that the Algerian army had previously opened live fire on three Moroccans whose jet skis ran aground, killing one of them and arresting another.
