A Spanish warship has ordered commercial vessels to leave British waters, Gibraltar’s government said.
The warship’s crew can be heard in an audio recording of a radio exchange on Sunday telling vessels anchored at the Rock to “leave Spanish territorial waters.” Royal Navy boats were deployed in response to the incident.
The boats that had been told to leave were ordered to remain by the Gibraltar Port Authority during the incident, which was branded “foolish” by a spokesman for the government of the British overseas territory.
Gibraltar’s government accused the Spanish ship of trying to take “executive action” against the commercial boats.
