Eight illegal fishing boats have been intercepted by a patrol in UAE territorial waters to the northwest of Sir Bu Nair Island.

The Critical Infrastructure and Coastal Protection Authority (CICIPA) located them at midday on Monday.

Three pursuit and support boats were then deployed to intercept the fishing vessels.

The Coast Guard attempted to stop the boats but they did not obey orders, so rules of engagement were applied.
