Overseas News

A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules
  1. Follow the aussie.zone rules
  2. We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
  3. Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
  4. Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

In short:

A group of pro-Palestinian activists say their ship has been struck by drone fire in international waters off the coast of Malta.

Four Australian activists were preparing to board the ship in Malta and journey to Gaza with humanitarian aid.

What's next?

The Maltese government said "all crew were confirmed safe" and that a nearby tug had been directed to aid the vessel.
