Algeria’s defence ministry has said its coastguard fired warning shots before firing directly at a man on a jetski who entered Algerian waters, in an incident that a survivor said left two dead.
The incident took place on Tuesday after five men strayed into Algerian waters on jetskis near the Moroccan coastal resort of Saidia on Algeria’s border, according to Mohamed Kissi, who said he survived the shooting.
