According to spokespersons for the Tunisian fleet present on the affected ship, the fire "has not caused significant damage, but is superficial," and that ship "can travel" on Wednesday.
However, the General Directorate of the Tunisian National Guard has denied in a statement that it was "a drone" that allegedly attacked that ship.
According to the Tunisian authorities, the fire "originated in the life jackets of that ship" and "exploded by a lighter or butt".
The note issued by the National Guard states that "there is no action against or external aggression".

For her part, the UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, has also confirmed the attack, adding that "two other flotillas are heading for Tunisia and need urgent protection".
After learning of the incident, hundreds of Tunisians travelled this morning to the port of Sidi Bou Said in solidarity with the world's flotilla, according to videos broadcast on the networks.
The protesters have repeated cries like "Long live Palestine. "
