Corpses have been found at sea after a boat carrying
some 30 migrants sank south of Malta, officials said Saturday, according to dpa.
Two children were among seven survivors of the shipwreck some 300
nautical miles (550 kilometers) off the Mediterranean island, the
army said.
The survivors were rescued by merchant vessels operating in the area
on Friday afternoon.
Malta's rescue coordination centre launched a search mission
involving several cargo ships, three Italian coast guard vessels,
three Italian and one Maltese aircraft.
