Algeria has spoken about the killing of two people on jet skis who went into Algerian waters from Morocco for the first time.
The Algiers defence ministry said that a group of people on jet skis did not listen to the security forces’ warning shots and did not want to stop.
It said that they went into Algerian waters without permission when there was more drug trafficking and organized crime happening.
The ministry confirmed that they found one dead body.
The event happened at the same time as tensions between Morocco and Algeria were getting worse.
The line that separates the two countries has been blocked for almost 30 years.
