Doctors Without borders rescue ship attacked off Libyan coast

While searching for shipwrecked immigrants 24 nautical miles off the Libyan coast on August 17 the Doctors Without Borders ship Bourbon Argos was fired upon by unknown men in a motor boat who then boarded the ship, then gave up their enterprise when they found that all crew had secured themselves in parts of the ship inaccessible to them. They hung around on board for fifty minutes then left without having taken anything. No one was hurt.
Why this news is just being reported today is unclear to me.
