Sources fail verification
editI have tagged all three sources in this article as having failed verification because they tell a different story to what the article tells. Two of the sources are written by the same author and are very similar. All three are about a video of the shooting of unidentified people at sea and how it lead to the captain of the ship being charged with murder. There are claims in one source that the people in the water are Somali pirates, but that is not confirmed. None of the sources identify them as drug smugglers. One source does confirm the ship sank, but it does not mention an explosion or fire. The article says the ship shot at the people in the water, but this is an unarmed fishing vessel and at least one report mentions snipers, or unidentified gunmen doing the shooting, not the ship itself. Such a wide variance between the reported facts and what the article says implies there are additional sources that haven't been cited or that this article contains original research or is a significant departure from the facts. I have added clean-up banners as a result. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 11:47, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Additional sources
editHere are some additional sources that could be used in this article that I found simply by searching for the ship's name.
