A 49-metre sailboat named 'Bajesian' sank off the coast of Palermo due to severe weather, resulting in 15 rescues and 7 missing persons.
Fifteen people were rescued by coastguard patrol boats and fire brigades, but seven individuals remain unaccounted for after the tragic incident.
The boat, primarily carrying British citizens, sank as water spouts and a fierce storm hit the region, prompting a rapid emergency response.
Search efforts involve divers navigating to the hull at 49 metres deep, with a helicopter assisting in the operation to locate the missing.
