A boat has sunk off the coast of Portugal, with five people rescued, after it was attacked by a group of killer whales.
The vessel was sailing 11km from the small coastal city of Sines when it was targeted by a pod of orcas on July 31, with passengers forced to deploy a life raft as it took on water.
They were picked up by a nearby fishing boat, the ‘Festas André’, which was summoned by the Portuguese Navy to assist the stranded group of people aboard the craft.
