Subject: MESSAGE FROM GLOBAL FLOTILLA UNDER RENEWED ATTACKS - UPDATES! + ACTION! REACH OUT TODAY TO STATE LEADERSHIP AND U.S. DEPT OF STATE!
From VFP Toledoan Phil Tottenham (PK Tott) aboard the Ohwayla:
One of 12 attacks tonight so far. Our boat was the first to be targeted, but it was a dud and bounced off the deck.
From Legal - UPDATE ON ATTACK ON FLOTILLA as of 02:31 CEST 24/9/2025 (6 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern Time)
Total 11 boats have been confirmed to have been attacked using chemical devices or flashbangs. Four boats sustained damaged. No injuries to crew reported. First strike on Veterans boat at 9:00 PM UTC.
Boat flags: UK, Italy, Poland
Location: international waters south-west of Crete island (Greece)
Message from onboard:
I don’t have all the deets yet, but know that we were the first boat to be targeted tonight. Whatever the quad copter dropped bounced off the deck and bounced into the water.
The flotilla has been targeted 9 times tonight, roughly every 15 minutes. With some kind of explosive detonating just above each boat attacked. One report of a damaged mast. Everyone is ok.
They also highjacked our comms and started playing Abba, Take a chance on me. So we’re switching channels.
Multiple drones still circling way above. Unsure where quad copters are being deployed from.
Please prepare to reach out to state leadership tomorrow and the Department of State.1 (202) 647-6575
