The Algerian Ministry of Defense, under the authority of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, announced on Wednesday «the arrest of three Moroccan nationals for attempting to illegally cross maritime borders using a jet-ski». The operation «took place during a surveillance and security patrol in territorial waters on the morning of Monday December 11, 2023, around 8:40 am», says the ministry in a press release, widely relayed by Algerian media. This arrest comes almost four months after Algerian forces killed two young Moroccans while jet skiing after they accidentally strayed across the Algeria-Morocco maritime border.
