A Libyan patrol boat reportedly fired some warning shots at the fishing boat "Salvatore Mercurio" , which was in international waters north of Benghazi together with the "Luigi Primo" .

The blows did not cause damage to the boats or injuries.

The Grecale frigate of the Navy intervened in the area and invited the patrol boat to leave, while a medical team and men from the San Marco boarded the fishing boats to ensure safety.

Defense Minister Lorenzo Guerini was constantly informed of the situation.
