A search and rescue operation is currently in progress following the sinking of a ship carrying 27 crew members off the coast of the Falkland Islands. The fishing vessel, FV Argos Georgia, began to sink approximately 200 miles east of the islands in the South Atlantic on Monday at around 4 p.m. local time.
The crew of the vessel requested assistance and subsequently abandoned ship, with some managing to board life rafts. While some individuals have been rescued from the life rafts, efforts are ongoing to locate those who are still missing.
