(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) A U.S. Coast Guard aircraft spotted a sinking boat carrying up to 33 suspected migrants Wednesday, two days after U.S. authorities pulled 11 Cuban migrants from the waters off the coast of Florida.
€ÅThey were spotted by a Coast Guard aircraft that was up there searching on the other migrant case,€€Œ said spokesman Gabe Somma. He said there were up to 33 people on the boat, up from the 25 originally estimated by the Coast Guard.
