Two people are rescued off India’s eastern coast after a distress alert and subsequent loss of contact involving a Panama-flagged cargo ship, according to reports. A search and rescue operation is underway in the area as responders work to locate and assist those involved.

Both outlets describe the incident as originating from a distress alert sent by the Panama-flagged vessel. After authorities lose contact with the ship, rescue teams mobilize to search the surrounding waters. The reports indicate that the initial outcome is the recovery of two survivors, while the operation continues to determine further details about the situation onboard and whether any additional people require assistance.

While the available accounts focus on the rescue of two individuals and the ongoing nature of the search, they provide limited information about the cause of the distress alert. The emphasis remains on the coordination of maritime authorities and the fact that the incident follows communications from the Panama-flagged cargo ship.
