Another 13 people, 11 men and two women, were rescued and two were still missing according to witnesses, the officials said adding that a helicopter, a patrol boat and private vessels assisted the search-and-rescue operation. "The vessel, a 6-metre (20-foot) speed boat, sank under unknown circumstances," one of the officials told Reuters.
