Italy’s coast guard says it has recovered 10 bodies after a migrant boat capsizes in waters near Malta. Officials report that a fishing vessel rescues 48 people alive from the capsized craft. The incident occurs in the Mediterranean, about 45 nautical miles east-south-east of Malta. Italian authorities say the boat had left Libya and was carrying roughly 60 people at departure. After the boat overturns, Italian rescue services respond and continue recovery efforts, including recovering the deceased. The coast guard statement does not indicate how many people remain unaccounted for beyond the 10 reported dead and 48 rescued alive, while sources consistently describe the total number involved as about 60. The reporting also describes the timing as occurring on Sunday, based on the coast guard announcement. The operation involves coordination with rescuing vessels in the area and ongoing work to retrieve bodies and assess the final passenger count.
