Naval Guard rescues survivor from sinking boat
One person was rescued from a migrant boat sinking off the coast of Ben Guerdane, after it took on water and sank approximately 14 nautical miles from the shore. The survivor had clandestinely set sail on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, with 14 other people. The vessel sank due to water leakage, causing the passengers to disperse in the open sea. Search and rescue operations are still ongoing, involving naval forces and aircraft, to locate the remaining missing persons. Meanwhile, the Public Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation into the maritime smuggling activity, which was life-threatening.
