Two French nationals who had been reported missing at sea for several days were found alive on Thursday evening off the coast of Assilah, northern Morocco. Their rescue was carried out by a merchant ship that spotted them in the area.
The individuals were located in the waters near Assilah, a town known for its fishing port and proximity to Tangier. The merchant vessel alerted Moroccan authorities, who coordinated the recovery operation.
Details about the circumstances of their disappearance or the duration they were adrift have not been fully disclosed. However, the successful rescue highlights the effectiveness of maritime cooperation in the region.
Local officials confirmed that the two French citizens were in stable condition after being brought ashore. No further information about their identities or the exact location of their rescue has been released.
