Read our privacy policy Italian Coast Guard was searching for possible missing people off Italy’s southern coast Monday, following the shipwreck of a sailboat with migrants on board, believed to be departing from Turkey. The search and rescue operation started following a Mayday call by a French boat, sailing about 120 miles from the Italian coast, at the limit of the SAR areas under the jurisdiction of Greece and Italy, the coast guard said in a statement. The Italian Maritime Rescue Coordination Center of the Coast Guard in Rome immediately diverted two merchant vessels sailing nearby to the scene of the rescue.
