One person is missing at sea after a
migrant-boat sank on Thursday while trying to reach the coast of
southern Sardinia.
Thirteen people were rescued.
The alarm was sounded at around 13:00 by a merchant ship after
sailors saw the boat sinking some 24 miles west of Carloforte.
The merchant ship moved towards the wreck but in the meantime a
Coast Guard vessel and helicopter arrived.
