Two French nationals who went missing at sea off the coast of Morocco have been found safe and sound, according to a statement from the Moroccan Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC). The rescue operation was launched after the individuals were reported missing, and a message was broadcast to all vessels entering the search perimeter.
'The ship managed to spot them thanks to the message sent to all boats entering the search area. Then, we had to make sure it was them,' an MRCC official told AFP. The official did not provide further details on the condition of the rescued individuals or the exact location of the rescue.
The incident occurred earlier this week, and the search involved coordination between Moroccan authorities and international partners. The two French citizens were reported missing after failing to return from a sea outing. No further information about their identity or the circumstances of their disappearance has been released.
The successful rescue highlights the effectiveness of the maritime alert system in the region. The MRCC continues to monitor the situation and has reminded all mariners to follow safety protocols.
