#1 Bored Marines shooting at driftwood floating by, I can believe that. 'Bad War' movies and YouTube are full of similar events.
An escalating international bruhaha over the loss of two simple fishermen, in international waters, that came (within lethal range) too close to a tanker carrying a piracy prevention force near the Indian coastline? And errant warning shots?

Sounds like a fishing boat or smugglers adrift in a shipping lane. Or a deal gone bad when offloading contraband.
