2015 Finifenmaa boat explosion

On 28 September 2015, an explosion occurred on the presidential speedboat 'Finifenmaa', where it was carrying President Abdulla Yameen, First Lady Fathimath Ibrahim, and other government officials from his administration. The boat was carrying them from Hulhulé to the Izzuddeen Faalan (presidential jetty) in Malé. Yameen escaped unhurt but first lady Fathimath Ibrahim, a presidential aide, and a bodyguard was injured. This explosion was labelled as an assassination attempt on Yameen but has been widely disputed.
