All 21 people on board a rowing boat that capsized off Dasoudi in Limassol on Monday morning were brought safely ashore after a search and rescue operation.
Ambulance crews found them all in good health, and they were allowed to leave.

It mobilised helicopters from the Police Aviation Unit and the National Guard’s 460 Search and Rescue Squadron, Port and Marine Police boats, a lifeguard boat from the Limassol District Administration, Limassol police officers and ambulances from the SHSO ambulance service.
