A magisterial inquiry has been launched after a sailing yacht reported being hit by a bullet while sailing off Pembroke ranges yesterday.

The incident happened at about noon when the 32-foot Mistress Elusive was about a mile off the ranges, which are used by the AFM.

A bullet was found lodged in the bridge of the yacht. No one was injured.

Ballistics expert Brig. Maurice Calleja has been appointed court expert to assist in the inquiry.
