During a security and control patrol in our territorial waters, a coastguard unit intercepted three jet-skis that had crossed our territorial waters illegally at 19:47 (18:47 GMT) on Tuesday," the Algerian ministry said in a statement.
Algerian officials said Sunday that warning shots were fired before its military directly shot at a group of jet skiers who had drifted over from Morocco, killing two of them.
Algeria says its coastguard fired warning shots before directly opening fire on Moroccan jet skiers who accidentally entered Algerian waters five days ago.
