Coast Guard Corrects Error: Cuba Aid Boats Still Missing

The U.S. Coast Guard has issued a correction regarding two missing sailboats that were transporting humanitarian supplies from Mexico to Cuba, acknowledging that an earlier report claiming the vessels had been found was inaccurate.

A Coast Guard representative confirmed to Reuters on Friday that the previous statement provided to AFP indicating the boats had been located was wrong. The agency emphasized that rescue crews are still actively searching for the missing sailboats.

No additional details about the search operation or the condition of those aboard the vessels have been released at this time.
