Sometimes countries have to do what they have to do.

Around 1995, Canada boarded and arrested Spanish fisherman in international waters because they were allegedly over-fishing. In my mind, it was the right decision to make. International waters should not be a haven for criminals.

Having said that, I don't think we have enough information to know exactly what happened. This situation sounds like there is a lot more to it as there was obviously a lot of resistance.
