The Sri Lanka Coast Guard (SLCG) successfully rescued two fishermen after their boat capsized in rough seas off the southern coast near Mirissa yesterday.
The fishermen, aged 35 and 63, had set out from Bandaramulla, Mirissa earlier this morning for routine fishing when their vessel overturned due to adverse sea conditions.
Following a distress call, the SLCG Operations Center immediately deployed inshore patrol boat CG 201 to the site of the incident.
The rescue operation, carried out with the help of local civilians, ensured both the fishermen and their capsized vessel were safely brought ashore.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the incident.
