Coast Guard Rescues Two Fishermen in Puerto Rico

Coast Guard crews successfully rescued two fishermen after their 24-foot vessel capsized off the coast of Puerto Rico due to fuel exhaustion and rough seas, including 8-foot swells and winds of 25 to 30 knots. The Coast Guard received a distress call around 4 p.m. and promptly dispatched an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter from Air Station Borinquen, which arrived just before the boat sank five miles south of Desecheo Island. Dramatic footage captured the crew member who jumped into the water to hoist the men to safety, ensuring they were uninjured. Coast Guard officials emphasized the importance of wearing life jackets and having marine communication equipment on board. This incident followed a recent case where a 74-year-old boater was rescued after drifting off Florida. Meanwhile, in Mumbai, a fishing boat sank after colliding with a cargo ship, but no injuries were reported as a local rescue team swiftly retrieved the vessel.
