Bahraini boats in Qatari waters

Doha – Two Bahraini boats breached Qatari territorial waters on Wednesday, Doha’s interior ministry claimed in a statement, a rare incident in the ongoing Gulf crisis with a Saudi-led alliance against Doha.

Bahrain insisted, however, that the two vessels, part of its coastguard fleet, had been wrongfully intercepted. Bahrain, along with Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt, have imposed an air, naval and land embargo on Qatar since June 2017.
