That's like saying "thousands of miles from California" when something is a few miles from Hawaii.
The article kind of buries it but it was intercepted near the Azores, which are Portuguese territory and policed accordingly. They weren't patrolling in the middle of nowhere.
Also they probably got spotted by drone or something before the surface vessels got sent in to check it out.
Wow, that Island looks beautiful! Hadn't heard of Azores before, photos of it make me want to visit. :)
