Japan says the anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd has thrown bottled acid at a Japanese research whaling ship travelling in the Southern Ocean.
Japan's Fisheries Agency says activists tried to obstruct the ship on Wednesday by throwing bottles containing strong-smelling butyric acid and paint. The obstruction continued for 5 hours. One crewmember was splashed with the acid but was unhurt.
