It is reported here that it was not "close to" but 3 km (well, about 2 NM) inside the border. And did not react to any signals sent.

Interesting the ship has a BBC reporter on board. By chance? Or deliberate provocation to obtain a documentary?
Definitely, a deliberate provocation. Not a serious one though as the ship herself is not a big threat, but what was it for?
