The Tunisian Ports and Fishing Agency has warned fishing boats of approaching Libyan territorial waters after orders issued by Libyan Naval Forces to strike any boat passing or approaching the Libyan coast.

The Tunisian Press Agency quoted the head of the Regional Union of Agriculture and Fisheries, Abdulrazak Krishan, as saying that the Libyan warning will be taken seriously to avoid what he called any potential danger, owing the problem to the lack of clarity of the maritime border between Libya and Tunisia.

Krishan called on the authorities of both sides to work on the border demarcation in order to avoid sailors from getting into trouble.
