Tourist Yacht Sinks Off Egypt, 17 Missing

A tourist yacht sank off the coast of Egypt in the Red Sea, leading to the rescue of 28 individuals while at least 17 people, including four Britons, are feared missing. The incident occurred shortly after the yacht, carrying 31 tourists and 14 crew members, issued a distress call early Monday morning. Egyptian authorities have not confirmed the cause of the sinking, but there were warnings of rough seas prior to the incident. The UK's Foreign Office is providing support to affected British nationals and their families. Local military and rescue teams are conducting ongoing search operations. The yacht was operated by Dive Pro Liveaboard and had set out for a five-day trip from Marsa Alam.
